Kick off meeting of Adriatic-Ionian Macroregional partnership was organized in Brussels on 16th March 2016.
The 14th European Week of Regions and Cities will focus on the challenges currently facing Europe's regions and cities. Building on the implementation cycle of EU cohesion policy programmes, the event will be aligned with the political priorities of the European Commission's and the European Committee of the Regions for 2016 and with the interests of the partner regions and cities. Under the headline ‘Regions and cities for sustainable and inclusive growth’, some 100 sessions, seminars and meetings will be organized alongside the following thematic strands: Sustained and sustainable economic growth; Inclusive economic growth; Making ESI Funds simpler.
The aim is to bring together political representatives, decision-makers, experts of regional policy, as well as stakeholders from business, banking, civil society organisations, academia, EU institutions and the media. Under the three sub-themes, participants are invited to address challenges and solutions related to management and implementation issues as well as the cross-border, inter-regional or transnational dimension. European week of regions and cities will be organized from 10 and 13 October 2016.
