The analysis a reflection on the entire ECOC process, from preparation to execution, and from the immediate effects to those that developed after the conclusion of the event, through the application of functional interdisciplinary approaches to the reading, such as SWOT analyses or ex-post impact assessments. The meeting was born as an exercise also for a critical reflection on the possible comparison between the ex-capitals and the one planned for next year in Gorica-Nova-Gorica (GO!2025).
