Opening Conference of the Green Transformation Program

The Green Transformation Programme conference is funded by the Norway Grants 2021–2028. The conference aims to present upcoming calls for proposals and pre-defined projects in the fields of environmental education, sustainable public procurement, and climate change adaptation. It will feature expert presentations by specialists from abroad and Slovakia, as well as panel discussions focusing on climate adaptation and nature, crisis management, civil protection, and current security challenges (disaster prevention and preparedness, CBRN threats).
