The OPEN DAYS is an annual Brussels-based four-day event during which officials from regions and cities’ administrations, as well as experts and academics, can exchange good practices and know-how in the field of regional and urban development. It is also an acknowledged platform for political communication in relation to the development of EU cohesion policy, raising the awareness of decision-makers about the fact that regions and cities matter in EU policy-making. The OPEN DAYS is the biggest European public event of its kind.

With the headline of 'Europe's regions and cities: partners for investment and growth' 2015 will be structured around three thematic priorities:

  • 'Modernising Europe': The regions in the energy Union and the single digital market.
  • 'Regions open for business': SME development, innovation and job creation.
  • 'Places and spaces': Urban and rural development; urban-rural integration.
