The Urban Dimension of Cohesion Policy

Joint Conference European Urban Knowledge Network (EUKN) and Polish EU Presidency – Warsaw, 8-9 December 2011 "The Urban Dimension of Cohesion Policy"

Cohesion Policy is the major instrument of the European Union to strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion. It is also one of the instruments to achieve the Europe 2020 Strategy, aimed at sustainable, smart and inclusive growth. But what does this mean in practice? How are cities involved in this European wide strategy? How can Europe assist cities in better addressing local challenges? With the new EU programming period (2014-2020) in sight, EUKN and the Polish EU Presidency would like to stimulate a dialogue on the role of cities. Go to www.eukn.org to register for this conference.
