11th-14th October marked the 19th European Week of Regions and Cities, an annual four-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance. During the event, Prof. Joan Condell spoke at a session entitled "How the Northern Periphery responded to COVID-19: a success story of cohesive working." Specifically, the work that Prof. Condell presented was around the technological responses to the COVID-19 pandemic within the NPA region of Europe and beyond. The research undertaken for the NPA CORE Technology Solutions project was build upon knowledge transfer and lessons learned from the SENDoc project. The presentation can be viewed here:
