The Academy is not designed as a beginner’s course on local and regional economic development. It targets individuals who already have some experience in doing local or regional economic development or related activities.

The training method of the Summer Academy will follow the usual mesopartner style. It will be highly interactive, not primarily based on frontal presentations. We will draw on participants’ know-how, and we will stimulate exchange of experience among participants.

You will need a good working knowledge of English to participate in the Summer Academy.
