On 29 and 30 March the Mini Europe mid-term conference was held in Baia Mare, capital of Maramures in North-West Romania. Mini Europe is an Interreg IVC project in which 8 regions work together in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. The aim is to transfer successfully 16 good practices from one region to another. The participating regions are Maramures (RO), Észak-Alföld (HU), Mid Sweden, Valencia (ES), Veneto (IT), Western Greece, North West England and Flevoland (NL). The conference brought entrepreneurs, stakeholders and project partners together to evaluate the results until now and to plan the major themes and activities for the second half of the project.
The 8 Mini Europe partners have collected their regional good practices in the field of innovation, promoting entrepreneurship, cluster development and so on. Apart from the good practice descrition, the catalogue also contains a judgement on the transferability of the practices. The practices are now available here: Mini Europe good practice catalogue update May 2011
