The European Week of Regions and Cities (#EURegionsWeek) is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to cohesion policy. It has grown to become a neutral platform to discuss common challenges for Europe's regions and cities by bringing together a diverse community of speakers and participants.

The event, themed "New Challenges for Europe’s cohesion" and organised in Brussels from 9 to 12 October, offers a platform to exchange ideas, network with regions and cities, and learn about the latest regional and cohesion policies.

In October, more than 10 000 participants – including more than 1 000 speakers from all over Europe and beyond – will take part in an extensive programme of conferences, exhibitions and networking events on regional and local development. The programme is adapted every year to the specific context of the EU agenda. Participation in the event is free of charge. You can find more here
