Public administration leaders, brought together by ARSC Congresul Primarilor 2026 (the Mayors' Congress): the convening power that the National Council of Leaders for Smart Communities takes further.

How the Council works.

A group of public administration leaders who shape Romania's Smart City agenda. Selection by invitation and ARSC approval. Free access, but not open to everyone.

Who joins

Official status, a public ARSC profile, access to working formats on topics of public interest alongside central institutions, and priority invitations to SCIA, the Caravana Smart City and the annual ARSC events.

What they give back

Taking part in shaping Romania's Smart City agenda. Co-drafting public positions. Representation at European level through ARSC as the SCN National Contact Point.
