The Territorial Development Unit of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and RSA Europe present a webinar series based on selected themes of the SMARTER 2020 Conference. In line with the measures to contain the diffusion of COVID-19, the physical event will be replaced by a series of six webinars held between 15 September and 3 December 2020.
