Description

How can cross-border risk & crisis management enhance EU resilience? 

Join the 16th edition of the Beyond Borders Breakfast Debate Series, where we will discuss how cross-border disaster, risk, and crisis management can build resilience within the EU. We will delve into the DG REGIO’s latest report, ‘Strengthening the Resilience of EU Border Regions: Mapping Risks and Crisis Management Tools and Identifying Gaps.’ This groundbreaking report, set for release this February, offers a thorough inventory of potential risks along EU borders and the tools available for their prevention and management (both natural and human disasters) offering suggestions for addressing these challenges at local, regional, national, and European levels.

Featured speakers:

  • Ms. Simona Pohlova, Deputy Head of Unit for Interreg, Cross-border Cooperation, Internal Borders, DG REGIO, European Commission;
  • Ms. Birgit Snoeren, Policy Officer, DG ECHO, European Commission;
  • Mr. Ruslan Zhechkov, Principal Consultant, Technopolis.

More speakers will be announced soon.
