DeCrises WP4 stakeholder workshop

On 19 May 2026, the DeCrises project hosted Session 1 of our first stakeholder workshop. This session shared early insights from WP1, WP2, and WP3, and explored what these findings mean for our four case studies: Green Region Vestland (Norway), Fingrid Datahub (Finland), the Municipality of Potęgowo (Poland), and the City of Riga (Latvia).

Organised as part of WP4, session 1 was designed as an open and informative starting point. It helped set a shared foundation for the next stages of the project, including interviews, focus groups, and more interactive and deliberative activities later on.

We’ll also be holding separate sessions for each case-study later on — these will be organised as interactive and deliberative discussion sessions in the local language of each case study (Polish, Norwegian, Finnish, or Latvian).

Session 1 (19 May, online): “Informing: Project context and early findings”

Session 1 was held in English and was open to anyone curious about governance challenges and pathways in times of crisis. 

This session aimed to gather interest and inform the stakeholders about the DeCrises project, how the project is relevant to their case study and how their participation can help. During this session were discussed key insights from:

• WP1: Legal and policy frameworks shaping multilevel governance.
• WP2: Mapping of regional participation structures and key actor constellations.
• WP3: Early findings from the policy analysis of the EU Green and Digital Strategies.

You are invited to take part in the case-study specific sessions:

Case-study specific sessions

If you see yourself as a stakeholder or simply feel you could add something valuable to our understanding of the case studies, we would really love to hear from you. You’re very welcome to register your interest in taking part in these sessions.

We plan to continue organising more workshops and activities as the project evolves. If you’d like to stay connected, join our growing network of stakeholders, or take part in future workshops, we warmly invite you to share your interest with us through the registration form. We’d be very glad to keep the conversation going.
