Tuesday October 11 marks the start of the European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels; three days full of seminars and workshops that tackle the hotspot issues on today’s regional agenda.

Smart specialisation, urban development and sustainable growth are just a few of the issues that are gathered under the headline “Regions and cities for sustainable and inclusive growth”. More than 100 sessions will take place over the coming days and the programme connects them under three sub-headlines:

• Sustained and sustainable economic growth
• Inclusive economic growth
• Making ESI Funds simpler.
