00:01:00 Introduction to the webinar by Arnault Morisson
00:13:49 Keynote speech by Carlotta Fioretti, European Urban Initiative Expert, Sevilla, Spain on Sustainable urban development for small urban areas
00:24:11 Q&A: How did you select the case studies? Were they based on their capacity to leverage European funding or initiatives?
00:25:24 Q&A: You mentioned that projects or programmes that small urban areas are choosing are less ambitious or less complex than bigger cities.
Do you think it is a problem or perhaps a good thing to do?
00:27:09 Q&A: You mentioned they are choosing smaller projects, even if they are ERDF funded. Do you think that it is because of the co-finance that needs to be provided or because of the nature of the projects that are being financed?
00:28:55 Q&A: From the case studies you presented, is there one town that did very well? And if so, why?
00:30:40 Q&A: Regarding sustainable urban development strategies, their implementation is not evenly covering EU territories, is there a. reason?
00:32:07 Q&A: Do you think one of the main problems is the lack of capacity, expertise, skills, and knowledge?

00:46:12 Q&A: When you started thinking about the strategy in 2010, were you thinking of the blue economy and blue growth because you were expecting funding opportunities on the European level?
00:48:20 Q&A: You mentioned you mix different funding, and said that this was difficult. How did you do that?

01:12:41 Q&A: What were the main challenges to building those science centres through those types of funding?
Panel discussion
01:14:03 Q&A: You outlined you have been using different types of funding. Is there any type of funding that worked particularly well? Or is there anything missing?
01:24:44 Q&A: Small urban areas often don’t have the right capacities. Do you have any insight on how to raise this capacity?
