GPP-STREAM, the project funded by the European Commission under the Interreg Europe programme to integrate GPP into EU-funded programmes (structural funds) and other sectoral plans and programmes, is heading towards its final event. The final project conference for the dissemination of the results achieved and the sharing of good practices for sustainable development will be held on 16 and 17 February.   The event due to the pandemic situation is scheduled online.

During the first day of the event, GPP-STREAM partners will present their achievements in regards to the implementation of their regional GPP action plans – lessons learnt and difficulties met. There will be also a session dedicated to the integration of green public procurement (GPP) into policy instruments: case studies and good practices from other EU regions not directly involved in GPP-STREAM project.

During the second day, high level speakers from public EU institutions will be presenting good practices and case studies on environmental policy development and how GPP can be integrated into various policies which public administrations (PAs) need to develop and implement.
