9th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE CITIES & TOWNS
Be part of the transformation!
The COVID-19 pandemic is leading us all to be uncertain about the future. Given the critical importance of transformation to a sustainable society, we commit to ensuring that you can take part in the Mannheim2020 conference in some way – hopefully on site in Mannheim.
Held every three years, the conference is the multi-level interface between the European Union and sustainability action at local level.
