#EURegionsWeek breaks records again

The European Week of Regions and Cities is over for this year and according to the record-breaking numbers, 11 745 participants and 2 000 speakers gathered from all over Europe to take part in more than 500 digital working sessions, debates, and exhibitions. Due to the current situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, this 18th edition of the #EURegionsWeek was also the first fully digital edition. The event was spread out over three weeks, 5-22 October and provided opportunities to explore and share best practices not only on how regions and cities can work together for a stronger cohesion policy but also how to deal with these challenging times.
