5th IMAGINE Seminar
November 22nd – 25th, 2010
Royal Saltwork, Arc-et-Senans (FR)

This year’s IMAGINE seminar focuses on one side on the necessary organization of a European multi-stakeholder governance patterns and on the other side on the implementation of local action.
At European level, which form can take a multi-stakeholder partnership? With which bases and which objectives? The IMAGINE memorandum of understanding lays the basis of the IMAGINE philosophy. How can this work feed a European partnership?
At the local level, how to get started? How can one initiate local processes to develop livable low-energy cities? It is intended to discuss the steps to be implemented, the involvement of local stakeholders in these processes and to get inspired by practices already taking place.
