Joint organisers: Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and the European Parliament URBAN Intergroup

As an official side event of the 2020 European Week of Regions and Cities, this event contributed to its three thematic priorities: Empowering Citizens, Cohesion and Cooperation, and Green Europe.

The key objective was to promote the UAEU Partnerships’ achievements to a broader audience, and to foster action-orientated exchange with relevant institutions and stakeholders.
