A four-day meeting of representatives of four regions in Zlín, where participants will be provided with accommodation in two to four-bed rooms, all-day meals. For children, provision of games and social meetings in the form of renting sports fields, a social hall and providing transport, entrance fees for a joint trip to the BAŤA Principle exhibition. A block of professional lectures is being prepared for coaches, which are divided into three parts. The first two parts will be devoted to the topics in which, based on the survey, the coaches showed the greatest interest -"tactical preparation of players" and "general solution of coach-player-parent relationships". The lecturers are leading Czech experts on these topics, head coach of TK Sparta Prague and member of the coaching and methodological commission of the Czech Sports and Recreational Sports School Daniel Filjo and Mgr. Jan Pecha, Ph.D. head coach of the Markéta Vondroušová Sports School. Each of these lectures has a time limit of 1.5 hours. The third part consists of an hour-long block where coaches will share their experiences with each other. The output of these lectures will be a video presentation and written records of all lectures, which will be made available not only to participating coaches, but also to all coaches and parents who cooperate with the organizer and project partners in the given regions. To provide lectures, it is necessary to rent a hall, have lecturers participate, and prepare presentations.

The Czech presentation of the three newly commissioned performances will take place within Lunchmeat Festival, scheduled for the last week of September 2026 across several venues in Prague, with the festival’s main hub located at the National Gallery’s underground venue. An artist talk featuring the artists involved in the project will be held during the daytime as part of the Lunchmeat Symposium discourse programme.

The international conference will gather around 60 participants, including representatives of governments and line ministries, development agencies, academia, NGOs, businesses, media, and international experts. Travel and accommodation are foreseen for participants from V4 countries, Moldova, and the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia). The conference will present the final results of joint research, including the e-book on mobilizing green investment, and focus on policy recommendations for Montenegro and Moldova as they align with Chapter 27 - Environment and Climate Change. Comparative lessons from the Visegrad countries will be highlighted, drawing on accession and post-accession experience with wastewater treatment, waste management, renewable energy, and industrial adaptation. Each thematic block will be introduced by speakers from V4, Montenegro, and Moldova, followed by panel debates with WB stakeholders. Interpretation will be provided to ensure inclusive debate. The conference will conclude with a set of policy recommendations, distributed to ministries and agencies in Montenegro and Moldova and disseminated via partner networks and media. As the final project event, it will combine outputs with policy dialogue, awareness raising, and evaluation of results, strengthening cooperation between V4, Montenegro, Moldova, and WB6 on meeting EU environmental obligations through innovative financing.

he aim of the project is to develop weightlifting in Slovakia, support youth sports in the region, by showcasing the European youth elite in weightlifting and promoting the Slovak Weightlifting Association as a reliable partner in organizing significant weightlifting events. This is a complex project, a competition that is organized in the well-known weightlifting environment in Bobrov, with a built infrastructure in which it is only necessary to install the necessary weightlifting infrastructure, audio and video equipment, PC equipment with software for managing the weightlifting competition. There is an established weightlifting club Olympia Bobrov in Bobrov, with which the Slovak Weightlifting Association has already cooperated on organizing a smaller international weightlifting competition, of the V4 countries.

This output marks the official launch of the Carpathian Mountain International Film Festival 2026, featuring a high-profile opening ceremony that brings together the delegations from Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland alongside local Ukrainian filmmakers. The event includes the official introduction of the V4 partners (Institute of documentary film/Czechia, People in Peril Slovakia, Slovak Documentary Film Association, Gogol Film/Poland). The ceremony serves as the first major networking platform, publicly acknowledging the support of the Visegrad Fund and highlighting the importance of cross-border cultural dialogue during times of regional challenges. The evening concludes with the screening of the opening film and an introductory toast for international guests and the local community.

As part of the project, the materials collected, the data and the analysis conducted will be used to develop advanced software that will simulate the operation of the power grid in the context of electric car chargers. This software, together with the results obtained during the research, will provide a solid basis for writing a scientific publication. This publication will describe in detail the methodology, results and proposed solutions, which will contribute to the enrichment of knowledge in the energy field. In addition, the project results and key findings will be presented at an international scientific conference organized by the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Electrical Engineering. The presentation, which will be available online, will enable the project to reach a wide audience, including experts, practitioners and students interested in the topics of renewable energy sources and grid load. As a result, the project will gain greater visibility and its results can be widely discussed and implemented in practice.

The conference will be held as part of the IEEC – International Energy and Environmental Conference, which is one of the leading platforms for knowledge exchange in the field of environmental engineering and energy in the region. The project will host a dedicated session presenting the V4-BIOWASTELINK objectives, early survey results, and the concept of the joint waste database and GIS map. The event will link local stakeholders with cross-border partners, advancing the project objective of building a strong V4 cooperation platform for waste-to-fertiliser pathways aligned with EU regulations.

Three days of rehearsals of four students (2 violins, viola, cello) with a guitar tutor and then presenting a concert in Historic Museum - Sulkowski Castle. Each day the players will work for two sessions of 3 hours. Together it will be 27 hours of rehearsals. Then there will be a dress rehearsal and concert on fourth day.

The first six days of the workshop focus on the design phase, combining theoretical input, site exploration and participatory processes. The programme begins with introductory lectures presenting best practices in public space design from Poland, Hungary and Germany, providing participants with diverse perspectives and references. Participants then take part in a guided tour of Wrocław, allowing them to understand the local urban, social and cultural context. A key element of this phase are participatory workshops with local communities, during which residents share their needs, expectations and insights. These meetings form the basis for the design guidelines. Participants work in mixed international groups, developing concepts through collaborative design sessions supported by tutors. The process includes continuous consultations and internal reviews, as well as working presentations for local communities, where ideas are discussed and refined. This phase enables participants to translate diverse perspectives into concrete design proposals, grounded in real needs and local context

We plan to organise an Open Call to give visibility to early-career female artists who are still unknown to curators and institutions. It will be an opportunity for them to have their names included in the Archive alongside established figures. Recruitment in the V4 countries and previous Western Balkans partners (Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro) will be conducted through partners’ websites, social networks, media, and art academies. The Open Call will launch in the first half of September 2026 and close on 15 November 2026. Jury meetings will then be held, focusing on the innovative approach and extended value of the practice, both thematically and artistically. As a result, 29 artists will be invited to join the Archive: 3 from Poland, 3 from the Czech Republic, 2 from Slovakia, 3 from Hungary, 3 from Albania, 2 from Kosovo, 3 from Serbia, 2 from Montenegro, 4 from North Macedonia, and 4 from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Adding their statements will benefit these artists by increasing their visibility locally and internationally. It will also facilitate further collaborations with curators and the building of cross-border networks with art institutions. The monetary prize will support the further development of their careers. Moreover, the addition of these new voices will extend and enrich the research already undertaken in the region.
