By EUI Team
This year again, from 13 to 15 October, the European Urban Initiative will be present at the heart of the European Week of Regions and Cities, the largest Brussels-based event dedicated to regional and urban policy. Organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy, this year’s edition—under the theme "Shaping Tomorrow, Together"—highlights how local and regional actors are key drivers of a more cohesive, resilient, and prosperous Europe. Curious to see what EUI has in store? Here's a glimpse of our activities throughout the week.
