Regions4 session at the European Week of Regions and Cities – Registration open
Regions4 and the Commission for Economic Policy of the European Committee of the Regions (ECON/CoR) are co-organizing the session “European regions in the 2030 Agenda: Towards a Community of Practice” in the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC), the key event on EU Regional Policy.
Under the thematic cluster “The Future of the EU and the roles of the Regions and Cities”, the workshop focuses on the key role regional governments play in the 2030 Agenda implementation. It will showcase good practices and common challenges of EU regions and will serve to set an EU framework for collaboration of members, subnational governments and stakeholders under the Community of Practice European Regions4SDGs. The event aims at enhancing coordination towards political strategies and programmes capable of encouraging a European blueprint for SDGs, including reflections to scale-up regional pathways from isolated good practices to collective modalities of implementation. The speakers include representatives from the ECON/CoR, Lombardy, Catalonia, Basque Country, and Flanders.
The session will be held on Wednesday 9 October 2019, from 09:15 to 10:45 in the CoR – VMA building, Room VMA 1 (Address: Rue Van Maerlant, 1040 Brussels). The registration is open until Friday 27 September.
