This workshop aims to attract participants engaged in relevant research from European regions,
particularly in the wider area of the eastern Mediterranean. Keynote talks will be given by experts in
ICT. Additionally, practitioners and local authorities from Greece and elsewhere have been invited to
contribute their experience of using ICT to promote smart and green regional development. The
expected outcome will be a collection of case studies and experiences on the role of ICT to facilitate
smart and green regional initiatives, along with the identification of best practice and effective
evaluation methods for diverse governance levels.

Research‐in‐progress, position, theoretical and completed papers which are likely to generate
discussion and new insights are encouraged for submission. Findings and recommendations should
focus on policy and practice at various governance levels. This is a free event for all participants, but
prior registration is required. Up to three travel bursaries of £150 are available for RSA Early Career
Researchers, RSA student members and RSA associate (retired) members or those in bands B, C, D
