European Week of Regions and Cities

The European Week of Regions and Cities (EURegionsWeek) is Brussels’ flagship event on Cohesion Policy, co-organised by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR).

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 from civil society and politics.

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 that aligns with the EU's political priorities.

By bringing together a diverse community, the EURegionsWeek creates an open and collaborative space in Brussels and across Europe for capacity-building, learning and experience-sharing. It facilitates cooperation between regions and cities, engaging political, administrative, and private sector representatives in a single forum.
