The “European Perspective: Talent, Innovation, and Development in Tuscia” initiative, organised by Alessandro Romoli (IT/EPP) in the Conference Hall of Palazzo Grandori, Viterbo, aims to strengthen the connection between European Union institutions and citizens. The event is organised around three thematic pillars: Creative Europe, focusing on culture as an industry; Erasmus+, highlighting youth mobility and human capital; and Horizon Europe, addressing technological innovation and energy resilience. Its main objectives are to create a strategic link between local actors and EU programmes, raise awareness across generations, and strengthen institutional networking.
As a true EU Local Dialogue, this event moves away from the rigidity of traditional conferences in favour of circular dialogue and multi-stakeholder panels bringing together experts and local leaders. A dedicated networking coffee break will also provide space for direct exchanges between young entrepreneurs and established businesses. Overall, the initiative seeks to build practical awareness, helping participants access funding opportunities and develop transnational partnerships. By equipping local actors with the tools to navigate the EU ecosystem, it aims to position the Union as a close and accessible partner for territorial growth.
