The European Week of Regions and Cities (#EURegionsWeek) is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to cohesion policy which takes place on 11-14 October 2021.

The event is fully digital. The agenda features over 300 sessions and online networking activities that through an advanced platform will ensure the opportunity to debate, keeping communities connected, exchanging best practices and ideas between partners and participants on four themes: 

  • Cohesion
  • Green transition
  • Digital transition
  • Citizens’ engagement. 

Under the heading “Together for recovery“, this year programme is focused on the capacity of the EU, national and regional governments to support European citizens and their local communities with practical measures and public policies aimed at investing in a fairer, greener and more digital future for recovery.

The #EURegionsWeek will also serve as a platform for fostering the ongoing debate on democracy and citizen’s engagement on the future of Europe.
