ENoLL community is actively working on the challenges that the COVID-19 crisis has brought to us. Our aim now, as it is for many others, is to react in an agile way and prepare our cities and communities now for the new societal changes that will take place in Europe and the World. The Webinar Series on “COVID-19: Current actions preparing our digital societies for a post-COVID future” is gathering our Community of Living Labs and stakeholders around actual proposed solutions. We have scheduled the following list of webinars, aligned with the current ENoLL Action-oriented Task Forces:
16/6/20 13:00h CET “How the COVID-19 has changed our Universities for good”
30/6/20 13:00h CET “Rural development, nature and tourism: impact of COVID-19 and new approaches”
14/7/20 13:00h CET “SMEs in Europe and Open Innovation for the post COVID-19 digital society”.
The webinars will last 60 minutes and will consist of two parts:
- During the first part we will present to the audience a set of real-liferesponses from our members, stakeholders and individuals to the health crisis.
- During the second part we will debate, with questions from the audience on “what’s next”. This will be done from the perspective of the construction of an actual digital society based on a multi-stakeholder and citizen-centric approach for Europe and the World, advancing in the democratisation of the access to innovation for all, not leaving anyone behind.
For our upcoming seminar: 21/4/20 13:00h CET “Living Labs and the Maker community’s response to the COVID-19 crisis around Europe and the World”
