• Cohesion as the main investment policy for EU's regions and cities
What are the synergies between financial instruments and grants? How can ESIF implementation be simplified? How to overcome the growing territorial disparities? And how to make cities better performing engines for growth and jobs? These are just some of the questions which will trigger animated debates between Members of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) and high-level panellists including Corina Cretu, European Commissioner for Regional Policy, Markku Markkula, President of the CoR and Ramón Luis Valcárcel Siso, Vice President of the European Parliament on 10 October. This opening session is already fully booked, but the event will be web streamed and can be followed via social media through the hashtag #EUWRC. Details of the web streaming will be available on the website closer to the event.
