Audience

  • Leaders of regional, city, and district administrations
  • Specialists in local self-government
  • Teams responsible for socio-economic strategy, finance, digital transformation, and social policy

Program goal

Build competencies in strategic and spatial planning, digital transformation, municipal economy management, participatory mechanisms, and project work — for sustainable territorial development.

Four pillars

Strategy — development priorities, national goals to 2036, master planning and spatial planning.

Economy — tax potential, municipal finance, procurement, PPP, and investment attraction.

Digital — data-driven management, GIS, territory digital profile, Smart City, and digital security.

Human capital — social policy, participatory governance, communications, leadership, and conflict work.

Learning format

Blended learning with distance technologies: lectures, webinars, practice, and field internships.

Between modules, participants complete assignments for their own territory — from resource-base audit to a project passport.

Final assessment — defense of a ready-to-implement territory development project with financial justification and impact assessment.

Outcome for the administration

A management team with a shared frame: law, KPIs, finance, communications, and project contour.

Working artifacts for the territory: resource analysis, customer-centricity roadmaps, process audit, project passport.

A territory development project linked to national projects, the master plan, and socio-economic effectiveness.
