The first day of the project meeting will feature sessions dedicated to various work packages and the sharing of insights and progress. Participants will discuss Work Package 1 (WP1) led by HARFA (Network for Regional Development Foundation). 

The agenda will continue with updates on Work Package 2 (WP2) – Toolkit and Capacity Building, led by EMFIE (First Hungarian Responsible Innovation Association).

Day 2: November 8th, 2023

The second day includes a study visit to the AV Living Lab company in Ljubljana, offering participants valuable insights into transformative innovation practices in the field. The AV Living Lab is a unique world-class living lab that plays a significant role in the GINEVRA project.

Technological innovations, such as autonomous vehicles, have the potential to transform cities and greatly improve people’s lives. However, deploying these innovations responsibly is crucial.

This study visit to the AV Living Lab will provide project partners with a firsthand experience of how the lab integrates multiple industries, advanced technologies, data, content, and a people-rich ecosystem, both physically and digitally. It’s here that breakthrough solutions for the future of mobility are being developed, tailor-made to address the challenges faced in the project.

This visit is a valuable addition to our second GINEVRA partner meeting, offering practical insights into transformative innovation practices that we can apply in the project and share with Central European cities.

Overall, the second GINEVRA partners meeting is set to be an engaging and productive event, fostering cooperation among project partners, sharing experiences, and moving closer to the project’s goals.
