About the Assises
On 10 and 11 July 2017, we look forward to meeting you in Brussels for the European Commission and the European Committee of the Regions' 5th Assises of Decentralised Cooperation.
During the Assises, more than 600 participants, local and regional authorities from the EU, Africa, Caribbean, Pacific and Latin America will come together to discuss common challenges and build sustainable partnerships.
About this edition
The 5th edition of the Assises will consist in two plenary sessions, five round tables on policy-making and six project-oriented workshops.
On Day 1 – 10 July, Commissioner Neven Mimica and CoR President Markku Markkula will open the Assises. The thematic sessions will deal with the political context and global trends of decentralised cooperation. In the parallel round tables, elected leaders will discuss key political issues identified by the cities and the regions.
On Day 2 – 11 July, the plenary session will share the conclusions of the round tables and debate on conclusions. Six thematic workshops will serve as forum of exchange of experiences and good practices.
