We are looking for practical examples in the following areas:
1. Resilience and security of cities
Security and crisis preparedness are no longer abstract topics—they are everyday realities.
Your experience with crisis management, protecting soft targets, responding to power outages, and handling communication failures during crises can help other municipalities and cities cope with the first hours and days of critical situations. By sharing your experience, you help strengthen the safety of the entire region, not just your city.

2. Climate and environmental resilience
Climate adaptation today takes place in streets, parks, schools, and public buildings—not in documents. If you have experience with water, greenery, urban cooling, or circular solutions, your experience is highly transferable. You are helping to change adaptation from a "necessity" to a standard part of city management.
3. Energy and digital resilience
Energy and data are now strategic infrastructure for cities. If you deal with community energy, consumption management, office digitization, data management, or cybersecurity, you have experience that dozens of municipalities are looking for today. You are helping strengthen municipalities' independence and self-sufficiency.
4. Social and community resilience
Technology alone cannot sustain cities—it is people and functioning communities that sustain them. If you have experience with community projects, social services, municipal cooperation, volunteering, or working with various target groups (children, seniors, vulnerable people, etc.), your story is crucial. You help show that a city's resilience is primarily a human competence.
5. Mobility and the future of transport
Transport is one of the most visible issues for residents. If you have implemented new transport concepts, support the concept of the 15-minute city, zero-emission mobility, electromobility, or dealt with traffic management or logistics, your experience is highly valuable. You contribute to creating functional, accessible, and sustainable mobility for all.
