The European Week of Regions and Cities has grown over the last 18 years to become a unique communication and networking platform, bringing together regions and cities from all over Europe, including politicians, administrators, experts and academics.

In 2020, the first digital EU Regions Week reached more than 12,000 participants across 510 sessions. This confirmed the event’s ability to maintain its relevance as a platform for discussing and showcasing the development of EU cohesion policy, and making decision-makers aware of the practical proposals by regions and cities for EU policy-making, despite the pandemic.
