The delegation from Tilburg spoke to all staff members of ECNC and Eurosite.
 The Mayor and Aldermen were very interested in ECNC’s work, including the activities on business and biodiversity as part of corporate social responsibility, urban biodiversity and sustainable development, and the impact of climate change on municipalities. The importance of the presence of European organizations in Tilburg for Tilburg’s international profiling was stressed. This is especially relevant, as Mayor Vreeman wants to focus more on the international strengths and opportunities of the city of Tilburg.
During the meeting Eurosite’s Director Gernant Magnin presented Eurosite’s work, including work on cities and Natura 2000. The visit was considered very successful and positive by all involved.
