The project gathers first-hand experience from island communities across the European Union (EU), with the objective to identify innovative projects that are likely to inspire other island communities in the EU. In practical terms, the EESC is identifying remarkable initiatives, often implemented in an interactive way with the participation of the civil society and citizens, in the fields of information and communication technologies (ICT), energy, transport, environment, tourism, economic development, research, governance and social innovation.
