Awareness raising projects supported by the environment DG and environment related projects supported by other European Commission departments will also be showcased.
Exhibitors will have the opportunity to discuss their projects with other Greenweek participants, to exchange views and forge partnerships, according to the Commission.
The exhibition will develop five thematic 'islands' including, climate change, nature protection, health and environment, water and waste.
