Urban Post-COVID Recovery in the V4 Countries: Towards Effective Sectoral Policies?
“Urban Post-COVID Recovery in the V4 Countries: Towards Effective Sectoral Policies?” is an event organised within the framework of the international research project Urban Post-COVID Recovery in the V4 Countries, carried out at the Institute of Political Science, University of Wrocław, with financial support from the International Visegrad Fund (IVF) in the years 2022–2025.
The event will provide an opportunity to present the overall findings of the research conducted as part of the project, as well as to exchange views and experiences concerning how municipal governments in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have responded to the challenges of post-pandemic recovery. Participants will include not only representatives of the academic community (researchers, students and doctoral candidates), but also practitioners – representatives of local government, the non-governmental sector and business.
An integral part of the event will be the launch of the book Urban Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Perspectives of the Visegrad Group Countries, published by Routledge: Urban Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Perspectives of the Visegrad
It is worth noting that the event will be streamed live: https://www.facebook.com/upcrV4
