🌍 BorderLabs CE final event in Brussels
Today, the BorderLabs CE project held its final event, “Towards a Central European Territorial Agenda?”, as a side event of the European Cross-Border Platform Annual Meeting 2026 in Brussels.
The conference brought together policymakers, experts, researchers and cross-border practitioners to reflect on how territorial integration in Central Europe can be strengthened through strategic planning, participatory governance and the removal of legal and administrative obstacles.
Through three inspiring round-table discussions, participants explored:
✔️ the need for a new spatial vision for Central Europe
✔️ the role of dialogue and participation in cross-border governance
✔️ practical ways to overcome obstacles in border regions
A key moment of the event was the presentation and launch of the Charter for a more integrated Central Europe and the related network, opening the way for future cooperation beyond the project.
Many thanks to all speakers, participants and partners who contributed to this meaningful exchange!

A more detailed article will be published soon on the website of the project.

Dialogue Beyond Borders: Double Cities Dialogue Forum II

Just ahead of the closing conference of the BorderLabs CE project, 25 participants from three European double cities came together in Frankfurt (Oder) for the 2nd Dialogue Forum. 🇪🇺🤝

Over two inspiring days, they engaged in open and respectful discussions on migration, the war in Ukraine, rising nationalism, military spending, social polarisation, and the role of the media. The goal was not to agree on everything—but to learn how to listen and build dialogue across borders. 💬🌍

Because stronger cross-border cooperation starts with understanding each other.
