Conama Conecta, a space for European projects in Conama 2018

Conama aims to become a space for knowledge sharing, discussion and communication of European funding projects. Therefore, we will have a specific space to display and stimulate cooperation between European projects, Conama Connect, where people will discover different kind of Spanish projects, meet entities with long experience in sustainability and form new collaborations, share experiences and consider new innovation opportunities.

With this initiative we want to help Spanish entities (NGOs, companies, research centres, public administration…) to communicate and spread their projects as well as helping other stakeholders to learn about new methodologies and successful experiences to increase their competitiveness, innovation and sustainability.

We also want to connect potential partners and generate new opportunities for future calls. Conama Connect will have an exhibition area for the participant projects, some workshops to learn from diverse entities their experience in different fields and business-to-business meetings with Spanish, Latin American and European professionals.
