1st Smart Islands Forum: Taking Stock and Envisioning the Future


WHAT

The Forum was organized at the initiative of DAFNI Network, coordinator of the SMILEGOV project, which officially ended in 2015. In SMILEGOV 13 island partners worked to improve Multi-Level Governance so as to enable the realization of sustainable energy projects at island local level. The Forum built on this foundation, offering the opportunity to capitalize on the results of SMILEGOV and broaden at the same time the European family of islands.
