- European territorial cooperation
The 2025 European Week of Regions and Cities took place in Brussels from 13 to 15 October under the inspiring motto “Shaping Tomorrow, Together.” Co-organised by the European Commission and the European Committee of the Regions, this flagship event once again brought together thousands of participants from across Europe’s regions and cities to exchange ideas on how EU cohesion policy can drive sustainable growth, innovation, and quality jobs.
This year’s programme focused on three central themes: Cohesion and Growth for the Future, The Right to Stay: Unlocking the Potential of Every Territory, and Cities Building Tomorrow. Each theme reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that all regions, urban and rural alike, can contribute to and benefit from Europe’s green, digital, and social transitions.
This digest brings together a curated selection of recent publications from the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), offering insights and analysis that can enrich the debates and policy discussions emerging from #EURegionsWeek 2025.
