During this event, INBO was able to launch and highlight several projects, including:

  • The SpongeWorks Open Call for Associated Regions offers a unique ​opportunity to  receive up to €100,000 in ​grant funding to develop nature-based ​solutions for improving water retention, soil ​health, and climate resilience in your own territory.
  • The Peer-to-Peer Action Support for Basin Organisation funded by EU, and part of INBO Twin Basin Initiative.

The General Assembly provided an opportunity for rich and fruitful exchanges between the various program speakers, as well as the people in the rooms. This took the form of questions and answers at the end of each session, but also during informal times such as breaks and meals.
