We warmly invite you to the opening meeting launching the call for proposals in the “Innovations in Local Government” program.
You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas, a fresh perspective, and tools you can apply immediately after obtaining funding.
January 15 (Thursday), 2026 | 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM
The Tides, 8 Wioślarska St., Warsaw
This event focuses on practical solutions that genuinely help local governments improve services for residents.
Participants will explore selected social innovations developed as part of the “Innovations in Local Government” project — ready, tested, and adaptable solutions for any municipality.
The program combines presentations, expert discussions, and workshops designed to offer new perspectives on local challenges.
In the Innovation Zone, participants will see how specific solutions work in practice, learn which needs they address, and discover how they can be implemented in other local governments.
Workshops will also give attendees the chance to reflect on their own experiences and turn inspiration into first steps toward implementation.
The event provides a space for substantive knowledge exchange among local government representatives working on local solutions and services.
Come and see how social innovations and effective solutions work in practice!
