Background

Every year, Living-in.EU signatories shape the work plans of its five working groups (WGs): Legal, Financial, Monitoring & Measuring, Technical, and Education & Capacity-building. The annual WG work plans represent a fundamental instrument to define priorities and activities for the upcoming year. Co-creating them together with signatories helps reflect the main priorities and objectives for the digital transformation of local and regional authorities across Europe. 

Focus of the session

For the second time, the five Working Groups will jointly define their work plans and activities for 2026 in a common session. Signatories and members of all WGs come together and co-create the plans, sharing ideas, priorities, needs and activities to promote a sustainable and inclusive digital transformation. Therefore, all Living-in.EU signatories and WG members are invited to join this interactive session to collaboratively shape the 2026 WG work plans.
