prev next

Partenalia’s working groups were organised in 2009 following the general arrangement of the network. This new organisational system was based on a survey made to the members about their competences and interests, as a result, three main lines of work were defined:

• Focused on Economy, Innovation and Energy.
• Focused on Employment, Training and Labour inclusion.
• Focused on Territorial development, Tourism and New Technologies.

Their creation and the adhesion to them are carried out on voluntary basis.

In total, there are 17 administrations: 7 of which are Spanish, 3 Italian, 4 Belgian, 2 French and 1 Croatian. Diputación de Badajoz is the leader since 2012 and Diputación de Cáceres is co-leading the group.
