Cohesion policy

Online registration for the Open Days 2009 European Week of Regions and Cities is now open.

 

The Open Days under the general motto 'Global Challenges, European Responses" will be held between 5 and 8 October 2009 in Brussels. and - throughout the month of October - in the form of local events in places all over Europe.

 

While the Brussels programme will consist of about 100 high-level conferences, seminars and meetings under the responsibility of the organisers and the event partners, the local events will aim to discuss the Open Days themes among local organisations and citizens.

 

The event's programme will be structured according to four themes: growth, climate change, territorial cooperation and the EU cohesion policy.

 

The event is conceived and developed by the EU Committee of the Regions and the European Commission directorate-general for regional policy.

 

Participation is free.
