European Week of Regions and Cities

The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual 4-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement EU cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance. The event has become a European networking platform for experts in regional and local development. Exchange of good practice in economic development and social inclusion, cross-border cooperation, public-private partnerships, regional innovation, and community-led local development have become some of its many topics. Over the years, the event has grown into the key event on EU regional policy. It welcomes some 6,000 participants in October each year
