Where is the region's development heading on the 2015 horizon? European funds equate to great opportunities for the development of infrastructure and society in the South Moravian and Vysočina Regions. During the previous programming period and over the last two years, we have learnt how to successfully draw money from the structural funds and now we have more time to think about strategies and how to efficiently use these funds. Did we embark on the right course?
Objective
The objective of the Vision 2015 conference is to provide a platform for experts both from within and outside the region to answer this basic question: What is the course of the South-East Cohesion Region's development? Transportation, tourism and urban and rural development will be discussed by experts in three panel discussions, each focusing on the Regional Operational Programme South-East's priority axes. These panel discussions will result in three memoranda that will help key politicians, officers and public administration officials unify their concepts and gain a mutual understanding of the priorities and future threats.
