21st European Week of Regions and Cities
Thriving Regions, Stronger Europe
9-12 October 2023, Brussels (Belgium)
The European Week of Regions and Cities (#EURegionsWeek) is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to regional policy. This event serves as a platform for discussing and showcasing the development of EU cohesion policy and making decision-makers more aware of the importance of regions and cities in EU policymaking.
The EURegionsWeek 2023 will be centered on six topics:
- Regions in post-industrial transition
- Retaining talent for regional growth
- Small and mid-sized urban centres driving growth
- Breaking barriers to cross-border cooperation
- Local energy shift for security and sustainability
- Promoting social innovation
Participation in the EURegionsWeek is an excellent opportunity to
- Showcase current academic research to policymakers and practitioners
- Interact with actors in cohesion policy – politicians, policymakers, and practitioners
- reflect on key and emerging themes for future research
- promote knowledge exchange between policymakers and researchers and grow networks and alliances
- demonstrate the value/impact of research
