Methodology

The Seville Conference pursues these objectives through:

Plenary Sessions
In plenary sessions, open to all participants, new, interdisciplinary current affairs of general interest are dealt with in keynote speeches by high-level political and business representatives' as well as renowned experts.

Workshops
Our workshops are equally open to all conference participants, but deal with more specific and technical topics on a smaller scale. One chairperson moderates round tables or direct panel discussions, which are fed with expert contributions and the results are summarized by a recorder or secretary.

VIP Sessions
The VIP sessions are closed meetings of high-level experts and stakeholders which are intended to materialise the results of the plenary sessions and workshops into concrete results, such as international or regional cooperation agreements between industry, government and NGOs, project proposals etc. VIP sessions are composed upon demand prior to the conference or can be set up spontaneously in the course of the conference.

Best Practices Award
The Best Practices Award for outstanding and innovative ideas shall motivate potential participants to present their ideas as well as inspire creative minds to develop projects, products and services that meet the objectives of the SEN@ER network.

Exhibition Area
The exhibition area at the conference venue shall serve as a permanent meeting point for networking as well as presenting and learning about new trends and products.
