AER General Assembly 2008
Is your region creating best-practice solutions to the challenge of migration and integration?

Autumn is approaching and so is our General Assembly (GA), which will be held on November 13-14 in Tampere, Finland.

This year’s GA will focus on “Migration and Integration: Regional solutions to a European challenge” with activities and forums at which our regions can share their ideas and experiences.

During the Open Space workshops your region can showcase its expertise in this area by:

-    Proposing an expert to present your regional projects;
-    Proposing a regional politician or expert to moderate the debate session;
-    Having a stand at the “market place”.

Regions that provide us with best-practice examples (to be featured on posters at the meeting venue) will be part of a contest, and three regions will be awarded a free stand area for their input! Please send your examples to Maija Heikkilä (st.sg1delete_me(at)aerdelete_me.eu).

Due to the other conferences taking place in Tampere at the same time, you should book your hotel by September 10th at the latest. The online registration form is available at: https://ssl.kolumbus.fi/tampereconference.fi/aer08regform.htm
