How Stockholm will become one of the most attractive places for international academic meetings
Stockholm aims to become one of the most attractive places in Europe for international academic meetings. Attraction Stockholm, which is funded by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, is a collaborative project between academia, the City of Stockholm and industry. Within the scope of the project, an action plan and vision for achieving the goal have now been presented.
International meetings are a critical tool for strengthening the attractiveness of a destination and getting more stakeholders to understand the importance of working strategically over the long term with meetings. Doing so helps strengthen the local colleges, universities and businesses. It also helps attract talent, generate competitive advantages, spread knowledge, foster values and boost the Stockholm brand.More information - pdf
