Get ready for the 20th edition of European Week of Regions and Cities!
The European Week of Regions and Cities
[https://europa.eu/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. 

This year, the 20th edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities
will take place from 10 TO 13 OCTOBER 2022 in a HYBRID FORMAT, with
the possibility to participate in person in Brussels or join sessions
virtually. Over 1000 speakers will take the floor from all over the EU
and beyond during the 386 hours of interactive conferences spread over
4 days.

The programme includes a virtual exhibition and sessions on four main
themes: Green Transition, Territorial Cohesion, Digital Transition and
Youth Empowerment. 

The importance and opportunities of using (open) data is also in
