EUSBSR & CPMR at the European Week of Regions and Cities

Albert Borschette Congress Center, Brussels
08 October 2024

EUSBSR has been selected to be part of the 22nd edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities. #EURegionsWeek is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to cohesion policy. Together with Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), we’ll organise a session on regional cooperation and the role of macro-regional strategies.

Strengthening Regional Cooperation – What Role Can Macro-Regional Strategies Play?

3/4 of EU countries are members of macro-regional strategies. What are they? Our panel discussion explores this often underappreciated aspect of Cohesion Policy. Using the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region as an example, we showcase how macro-regional cooperation has evolved since its inception in 2009 and what is needed to ensure it remains relevant in the future. In particular, we want to foster greater future synergies with other regional cooperation initiatives, like sea-basin strategies.

Tuesday 8 October from 16:30-17:30 CET
