European Week of Regions and Cities
This year’s edition of The European Week of Regions and Cities (previously Open Days) is taking place on 10- 13 October 2016 in Brussels. The FCH JU is participating in this event along with four other Joint Undertakings in a session named “Enhance Regional Innovation and Growth: possibilities for integrated funding through regional cooperation with Joint Undertakings” on 11 October 2016 at the Committee of Regions in Brussels.
The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual four-day 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. Over the years, the event has grown into the key event on EU Regional Policy. It welcomes some 6.000 participants in October each year (local, regional, national and European decision-makers and experts) for more than 100 workshops and debates, exhibitions and networking opportunities.
In addition to the Brussels-based workshops, some 250 local events are run from September to November all over Europe.
