ASTRIC Project Shines at European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels

A few days ago in the end of October, the ASTRIC project (Attracting Skills & Talent through Regional Innovation Capacity) participated in the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC) in Brussels. Thank you all visiting our stand!

On Tuesday and Wednesday at the event, we showcased our Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic initiative alongside partners Magnus Rudehäll (Västerbotten), Antti Kotimaa (Savonia, Finland), Aoife Malone, and Julie Dowling (Western Ireland).

The project, which is based on Västerbotten's innovative measurement method for regional innovation capacity, METRIC (Measurement of Regional Innovation Capacity), was given a dedicated stand at EWRC, attracting significant interest.

To explore the METRIC tool further, we will host two live webinars in January 2026, featuring an in-depth look at the tool and our first analytical report, set to be released that month.

Interested participants can register by contacting jenny.ferry@regionvasterbotten.se or through the event page on this site.
