Luxembourgish Presidency Workshop
The workshop "The potential of small and medium cities in cross-border polycentric regions" is organized by the incoming Luxembourg City Council Presidency and it will highlighting the role and development perspectives of small and medium cities in common territorial development visions.
The workshop is closely linked to the IT-LV-LU Trio Presidency’s assessment of the implementation of the Territorial Cohesion objective and the Territorial Agenda 2020. The purpose of the workshop is to explore the challenges and potential of small and medium cities in cross-border polycentric regions (CBPRs), by presenting a state of play report on CBPRs with a selection of case studies from across Europe and facilitating an exchange between relevant stakeholders. The main objectives of the workshop are to recognise the challenges, understand the concept and approach, and to find appropriate responses.
The results of the workshop will nourish the ambitions for the actions tabled at the Informal Ministerial Meeting organised by the Luxembourgish Presidency and should lead to a political commitment from future Presidencies and European Institutions to take over the actions after the LU Presidency.
As the workshop has the purpose of facilitating an exchange and open dialogue on the potential of small and medium cities in CBPRs, a good mix of experts from all sectors at the European, transnational, national, and regional level (who are motivated to discuss the future of cross-border cooperation) is needed. Participants encouraged to attend are:
- Policymakers
- Academics and consultants
- Representatives of administrations
- NGOs and stakeholders
The workshop will take place in Luxembourg City at the Centre de Conférence – Hôtel Parc Belle-Vue located at:
5 Avenue Marie-Thérèse L-2132 Luxembourg
