European Week of Regions and Cities

Ort: Brüssel |

A Hub for Regional Innovation and Collaboration

The European Week of Regions and Cities is the biggest annual Brussels-based event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union Cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.

Since its launch in 2003, when regional offices in Brussels opened their doors to regional policy experts and practitioners, the #EURegionsWeek has grown into the European Union (EU)’s largest event dedicated to Cohesion Policy. Each year, it attracts thousands of participants, including:

• Politicians
• Public officials at all levels (EU, national, regional and local)
• Private sector representatives
• Policymakers
• Academics
• Journalists
• Civil society and citizens 

The event serves as a communication and networking platform fostering cooperation, exchanging knowledge and addressing regional and urban challenges. Each edition features a unique motto, thematic focus and visual identity that align with the EU's political priorities.
