18th European Week of Regions and Cities

The European Week of Regions and Cities (#EURegionsWeek) is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to regional policy.

The event has grown to become a unique communication and networking platform, bringing together regions and cities from all over Europe, including their political representatives, officials as well as experts and academics. Over the last 17 years, it has done much to promote policy learning and exchange of good practices.

In 2019, the #EURegionsWeek reached a record high of more than 9000 participants and more than 330 sessions, which shows the event’s relevance and potential as a platform for political communication in relation to the development of EU cohesion policy, raising the awareness of decision-makers about the fact that regions and cities matter in EU policy-making.

The themes for the 2020 edition are:

• Green Europe
• Cohesion and Cooperation
• Empowering Citizens

Due to the special circumstances, all sessions of the 18th European Week of Regions and Cities will be organised online.

The key sessions such as the Political Opening, Political Closing, Citizens Dialogues and High level debates will be streamed and broadcasted live. Exhibitions will be replaced by virtual interactive exhibitions where you will have the opportunity to be inspired by interesting projects and associated pitches.
