Part of the Institute of Federalism's IRCC team met in Bergen, Norway, with the other LEGITIMULT 11 partners. LEGITIMULT is a project funded by Horizon Europe 2020 and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). It aims at assessing the impact of the measures taken during the Covid-19 crisis by various international, national and subnational governments on multilevel institutions and intergovernmental relations.

In Bergen, along with other partners, the Institute of Federalism presented the developments and achievements of Work Package 3: Rule of Law and Democratic Participation, and Work Package 8: Communication and Dissemination. The Bergen seminar was a crucial step of the project and allowed participants to engage in lively discussions, share ideas, and connect with the project consortium.  The next steps will be the publication of the first deliverables on LEGITIMULT’s website. The consortium will meet again in a year, this time in Ljubljana.
