CENER 21 proudly organised and hosted the 3rd ISE Community of Practice (CoP) gathering in Sarajevo, held from April 2 to 4, 2025 at Hotel Hills, Ilidža, as part of the Interreg Euro-MED Mission for an Innovative Sustainable Economy.
In addition to leading the local coordination of the event, CENER 21 also participated as a representative of one of the 14 Thematic Projects – the Carbon Farming MED project, which promotes regenerative agriculture and agroforestry as key climate-smart practices for sustainable land use and rural resilience.
This three-day event brought together representatives from 14 Thematic Projects and 2 Governance Projects, alongside key partners from the Green Living Areas and Natural Heritage Missions, the Union for the Mediterranean, and the PRIMA Partnership.
Designed as a space for meaningful dialogue and hands-on collaboration, the gathering focused on building stronger connections between projects and shaping shared strategies for a more circular, resilient, and innovation-driven economy.

• 🤝 Strengthened cross-project cooperation and strategic alignment
