Founding Conference

The first CITE Conference will take place in Skellefteå, Sweden, on 9–10 June 2026,
marking the starting point for collaboration between the founding cities.

The conference will focus on lived transformation - how change is experienced, managed, and led in practice. 





Key themes include:

  • Industrial transition

  • Workforce development

  • The attractiveness of places undergoing rapid change



Selected as a New European Bauhaus (NEB) Satellite Event, the conference connects local transformation to broader European priorities.


The conference will be live-streamed, opening participation to a wider European audience. The agenda is displayed here.

The New European Bauhaus brings innovation, ambition and creativity together. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls.
