The event is organized jointly by the European Investment Bank (EIB), JASPERS, Sofia Municipality (through the Sofia Development Association), the National Association of Municipalities, and is part of the “Reflections on Europe” campaign announced by the European Committee of the Regions.
The seminar aims to discuss the technical issues related to the implementation of the EU's Urban Agenda.

The participants will have the opportunity to learn more about how JASPERS can support the preparation of projects and programs in the fields of urban renewal, social housing, smart urban development, smart and sustainable urban mobility, waste management and energy efficiency.

The seminar program will provide opportunity to representatives of Bulgarian municipalities and other stakeholders involved in local activities to present and discuss key challenges of urban development. The EIB and JASPERS will provide information on the best use of EU funds allocated for urban development. During the city sessions, other stakeholders and JASPERS employees will have a more in-depth discussion on technical issues related to fundraising. Municipalities that have not yet benefited from JASPERS advisory support are encouraged to seek such support.

The event is held in Sofia at the invitation of Ms Malina Edreva in her capacity of Deputy Chairperson of the Committee of the Regions Bureau.
