The theme of the Alignment of National Programmes (AoNP) meeting was grow in confidence .

Six Member States in JPI Urban Europe participated: Austria, Finland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Each country was represented by at least one Funding Agency. The participants worked together both days  to grow in confidence on National Programmes,  thus experimenting an unconventional meeting with the main intent to stimulate an alignment.

A meeting structure has been developed following a tailored methodology consisting of presentations and set of different activities such as networking, matchmaking, participatory work, report and discussion, inspiration, collaborative work.

The results of this will help to define a first structure of contents (bullet point) for JPI Urban Europe alignment strategies
