CCIS Team’s Expert Representation in a STSM in Portugal.

Our expert, Msc. Enis Sokoli from CCIS, participated in a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) in Porto, Portugal. This mission aimed to foster collaboration between civil society and the industry sector under the COST Action on Intergovernmental Coordination from Local to European Governance CA 20123. Mr. Sokoli and SME Prodigy Proper Consulting representatives visited the municipalities of Vila Nova de Gaia and Santa Maria da Feira, meeting with key officials.

The mission’s primary goals included forming specialized collaboration teams, creating a joint task force, engaging contributors like Knowledge Transfer Offices, and facilitating personnel exchanges. These efforts aimed to build trust, enhance governance structures, and promote sustainable partnerships and development.

CCIS’s participation in research networks like COST Action is crucial for accessing expertise, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, influencing policy, and enhancing capacity building. This involvement ensures civil society voices are represented in decision-making processes, contributing to societal development and innovation.

We at CCIS are proud of our involvement in many COST Actions and our ongoing contributions to these initiatives.
