The next edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities, the biggest and most influential event on Cohesion Policy, will be hosted in Brussels from 13 to 15 October 2025. Organised by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the European Committee of the Regions, #EURegionsWeek brings together more than 8.000 participants, representatives of cities, regions, associations, EU Institutions, researchers, and practitioners. 

ESPON has always been present, and we will be there one more time to present fresh evidence from our projects and contribute to the debates on territorial development. 

If you plan to be part of the Week, there is definitely an ESPON event to match your interests. Check our list and register as soon as possible - places are limited.
