The OPEN DAYS is the annual platform of good practice showcasing results and projects from current ‘convergence’, ‘regional competitiveness and employment’ and ‘territorial cooperation’ programmes. The Brussels-based four-day event is a unique annual opportunity for all stakeholders to stir debates about good local, regional and cross-border governance and management of EU funding. This exchange between practitioners is mixed with input from academia and the participation of third countries, which are interested to hear and learn from European regions’ experiences in regional policy, as well as presenting their own ones.
