INFODEF participated in the Brussels High-Level Dialogue on Clean Energy, Agriculture AI, Regional Innovation and Skills, held from 8 to 11 June 2026 in Brussels.
Organised within the framework of the ACRID Network (Associated and Candidate Countries Research, Innovation and Development Network), a network focused on strengthening research, innovation and development capacities in EU Associated and Candidate Countries, the event brought together representatives of European institutions, ministries, regional and local authorities, universities, companies, clusters and project consortia to discuss current challenges and opportunities linked to Europe’s green and digital transition.
The programme combined high-level policy discussions, project showcases and networking activities aimed at fostering cooperation between the public, private and academic sectors. Participants exchanged experiences, explored common challenges and identified opportunities for future collaboration under European funding programmes.
For INFODEF, the event provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, establish new contacts and explore future cooperation opportunities under programmes such as Erasmus+, Horizon Europe and other direct EU funding instruments.
As an active partner in several initiatives featured during the event, INFODEF contributed to exchanges related to the Erasmus+ projects ELeVATE, MOBUILDING and SEBCoVE. These projects address key priorities such as vocational excellence, green and digital skills, inclusion, innovation and regional development, closely aligning with the themes discussed throughout the programme.
The event also highlighted the importance of connecting project results with policy priorities and fostering collaboration between the public, private and academic sectors to support Europe’s green and digital future.
Through its participation, INFODEF continues to strengthen its international network and contribute to initiatives that promote innovation, skills development and sustainable growth across Europe and beyond.
