The 10th EUSDR Annual Forum, jointly organised by the Slovak Republic, the European Commission, the Danube Transnational Programme and with support of the Danube Strategy Point, will take place on 26-27 October 2021. The EUSDR Annual Forum will take place in a hybrid format. This means that the organisers and presenting participants will physically meet in Bratislava, from where the entire Annual Forum will be streamed. Speakers will give their presentations on-site and registered online participants will have the opportunity to interactively participate in discussions through one of the used online platforms.
The 10th Annual Forum of the EUSDR will be preceded by the 8th Danube Participation Day organised by EUSDR Priority Area 10 and the Danube Civil Society Forum in an online format on 25 October 2021.
The 10th Annual Forum of the EUSDR will also serve as great opportunity to celebrate 10 years of macro-regional cooperation in the Danube Region!
