The Joint ERA-NET Urban Accessibility and Connectivity (ENUAC) hybrid event is taking place in Bucharest and online between 15-16 May, combining a midterm-event for the first ENUAC projects that started in 2021 with the kick-off events for projects funded in the additional calls and starting in 2023.

The purpose of this combined event is to provide an opportunity for projects funded in the three ENUAC calls to meet for knowledge sharing and community building. For the duration of a call, projects are expected to participate in three events, a kick-off, a midterm and a final event.
The meeting provides an opportunity for the project partners to meet and to share knowledge, introduce their project, engage in strategic discussions and networking. We expect 2-3 partners from each project to join the meeting.
The purpose of the joint event is to provide:
- A forum for exchange for all projects within the ENUAC calls
- Strategic discussions and exchange on impact assessment (mid-term)
- Information about ENUAC communication and support activities and requirements for the coming years
- A workshop with the team of the ACUTE, ENUAC Knowledge Hub
