European Week 2023: Attractiveness through talent competition and civic engagement – Policy Lab

The ability of regions and cities to attract or retain skilled people is a key factor for territorial prosperity. But how can cities, municipalities or villages attract talent? Co-creating policies and services proves to be a promising way forward to increase quality of life and create an environment that attracts and keeps talent.

The Political Lab “EU cities and regions: Attractiveness through talent competition and civic engagement” at the European Week for Regions and Cities 2023 provides a platform on how cities and regions can attract and/or retain talent by balancing social, ecological and economic objectives through citizens-centred smart communities or smart territorries.
