As part of the European Programme Academy of RUN-EU, each institution will host an EPA Mission. The aim is to facilitate the collection of ideas and the creation of collaboration across the regions. The target is to draft co-created, actionable, joint learning opportunities and each institute will host one EPA-Mission. The EPA-Missions bring together students, lecturers/teachers and researchers to jointly work on these learning opportunities.

The EPA-Mission ‘Creative Regions in AI Times’ is hosted by the Polytechnic University of Cávado and Ave (IPCA), from 13 to 16 May.

This EPA-Mission aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for collaborating that supports creative and sustainable urban development.

A fundamental objective is addressing the new challenges faced by territories and communities.
