Every two years, the CoR holds a European Summit of Regions and Cities.
Bratislava will host the 7th Summit of Regions and Cities to be held on 8-9 July 2016.
The Summit is being organised by the European Committee of the Regions and co-hosted by the Bratislava Self-Governing Region and the City of Bratislava, in cooperation with the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the EU.
The focus of the 2016 Summit, held on 8-9 July in Bratislava, Slovakia, is on the need for investments and for better cross-border connections in order to unlock the growth potential offered by the rich diversity of Europe's regions. The EU's investments aim to generate smarter, greener and more sustainable growth across the Union and to narrow the economic gap between the regions of Europe. The EU is now trying to increase the impact of its spending, by simplifying its policies.
Under the title 'Invest and Connect', EU leaders and representatives from both the public and private sector will consider how to strengthen connections between Europe's people, places, ideas and resources through investment. A number of side events, such as concerts and public debates, are also planned over the two days.
