In cooperation with the Görlitz district development department and the Upper Lusatia Future Alliance, the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences hosted the 7th November Conference on November 29, 2013.
Almost 100 interested people accepted the invitation to find out about social innovations for sustainable social transformation and new forms of governance that are becoming established, as well as to exchange ideas with scientific experts and practitioners from other regions.
Together with the 10 speakers, experiences from science and practice were discussed in four topic-specific table discussions on how current and future transformation processes can be appropriately shaped and managed locally.
