The biggest challenges of our time call for European collaboration. Climate action, healthy biodiversity and circular economy, these are the themes that have been central to the European political network ENCORE for the last 30 years.

This year, the biennial political conference will take place from the 27th to the 29th of September in Gelderland, the Netherlands. With participants from all over Europe, we need to explore how we can scale up our efforts.

The Future of Us
The conference will be held in conjunction with the innovative festival The Future of Us, focusing on energy transition and circular economy. It presents a unique opportunity for over 500 entrepreneurs, politicians, researchers, and youth to come together and discuss these important themes.
