The ATRAKTIV consortium can look back on a productive meeting at the beginning of November at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography (IfL) in Leipzig. The meeting focused on discussing the empirical results of the last few months - including context and narrative analyses as well as interviews. The plans for the final year of the project were also discussed.

A particular highlight for 2025 are the planned "transformation arenas" in the case regions. These workshops will focus on the challenges of socio-ecological transformation in the districts. The highlight will be an overarching workshop in June 2025 as part of the spatial science colloquium in Berlin, where obstacles will be identified and concrete solutions developed together with local stakeholders.

The aim of the project is to create practical dossiers that support change in the regions. The consortium is looking forward to the next steps and further results in the final year of the project!
