INCLUDE

Clustering inclusive territories driven by digital innovation

What we do

INCLUDE addresses the common challenge of unlocking the potential that communities have in shaping prosperous, sustainable and resilient territories. This brings implicit the need to overcome factors like skills gap, limited engagement of youth and minority groups in decision-making processes, need for climate change adaptation and the challenging task of creating the conditions to foster place-based economies. The overall objective is to enhance the capacity of public authorities and their communities to jointly shape and develop their territories. The main output of the project will be a Community of Practice (CoP), targeted to public authorities and their communities and focused on using digital innovation as the foundation to actively involve the society in the definition and implementation of actions leading into sustainable, prosperous and resilient territories. The CoP will be initially formed by 24 partners previsouly involved in the MINDSET, InnoGS and Innovation in urban planning projects.
