EU Regional Offices based in Brussels are important interlocutors and multipliers for regional policy matters. The community of accredited offices is therefore regularly invited to exchanges with the European Commission’s directorate-general for regional and urban policy. From July 2019, this cooperation is organised in two different formats, hosted by the European Commission.
These semi-annual meetings are designed for specialists interested in discussing matters related to the planning and implementation of cohesion policy. Topics are chosen based on the needs of EU Regional Offices and political priorities of the Commission. Each session is repeated once with identical content to accommodate a maximum amount of participants. The sessions are held in English without interpretation.
