In addition, the regions should be networked and strengthened with one another in this way, and direct exchange with the federal government and the public is to be made possible in order to initiate joint learning processes and successfully tackle regional challenges. The congresses also provide a framework that allows the model regions from the various federal programs (including the model projects for spatial planning (MORO) and the federal regional program (financed by the Federal Rural Development Program - BULE)) to develop themselves permanently beyond the individual projects/program duration. connect.

An agency is to be commissioned via a framework contract to prepare the content and organization as well as to hold up to three federal congresses under the name “Regional Development Day”.
