ECO-CICLE launched its Opening Conference on October 9th, 2018.

ECO-CICLE is a new Interreg Europe project gathering 5 regions and 7 partners. They were represented at the Conference to share their expectations and planned activities in the frame of the project. The first public learning event is targetting the promotion of cycle-tourism in natural areas. The ECO-CICLE Opening Conference was then a perfect occasion to gather expertise and information on this topic.
