European Week of Regions and Cities

Workshop: Let’s build the future in cities together

The European Week of Regions and Cities is the biggest annual Brussels-based event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union Cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.

As part of the event, EURASHE is taking part in this in-person workshop organised by the European university alliance U!REKA. Registrations are open until 30 September 2025.

Titled “Let’s build the future in cities together — accelerating the climate transition through impactful U!REKA European university collaboration”, this session focuses on the unique role universities play in supporting cities through climate transition.

The workshop showcases best practices from the cities of Helsinki and Ghent with the urban-focused U!REKA to accelerate climate-neutrality. The speakers from the two cities and from Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences will explain how universities beyond research and innovation activities bring a skills dimension to the climate challenge.
