The European Week of Regions and Cities is the biggest annual four-day event organised by the European Commission to showcase cities´ and regions´ capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union´s cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance. It has grown to become a unique communication and networking platform, bringing together regions and cities all over Europe, including politicians, administrators, experts, and academia.
