The event will showcase some examples of regional projects and initiatives that are tackling key European challenges, sharing best practice and improving local service delivery. This one-day event will bring the Brussels Open Days back to the region, building on the themes debated in our Brussels event. We will look at successful projects and opportunities to learn from partners from other European countries. We will raise awareness about how North East England is represented within the European institutions and the advice and support organisations which can be contacted locally. The event will be aimed at elected local politicians, officers and practitioners from local authorities, the regional development agency, social partners, universities, non-governmental organisations and project partners from across Europe. The content of the event will be designed to engage the audience including people who have little or no previous experience of European work and funding, in order to raise their awareness of the opportunities available.
