The first meeting will take place in Wroclaw, Poland, on Wednesday 3rd of March (09.00 - 13.00). The work starts with an open seminar in which general public, companies, politicians and other stakeholders are invited to attend. We will start with an introduction to the different work packages in the REMOWE project and later regional presenters will give an insight into the local/regional conditions for how waste can be used as a renewable energy source.
During the seminar project partners from Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Sweden and Germany give short presentations of the potentials in their countries on the subject "waste as an energy source".

The first working meeting for implementation bodies regarding the EUSBSR will take place as planned on 11 March 2010 in Riga. Latvia.

Invited actors are the National Contact Points, Priority Area Coordinators, The INTERACT Laboratory Group for EUSBSR, Mainstream and CBC programmes in the Region, International Funding institutions and of course key persons from the Commission. INTERACT will also invite some Flag Ship leaders to be present in the working meeting.

There will be plenary sessions but also break out work shops at least on four major themes:
1) Major Project Financing (Energy/"BEMIP") with stakeholders also from DG Energy, EIB and NIB
2) How to deal with the labelling and reporting processes for National and Regional OP:s
3) Labelling and reporting issues for ETC- and ENPI CBC-Programmes
