Session summary
At the 2025 European Week of Regions and Cities, the European Urban Initiative (EUI) stand invited participants to discover how EUI supports cities of all sizes in developing sustainable, inclusive, and innovative solutions to urban challenges.
Visitors learned about the upcoming Innovative Actions Call 4, City-to-City Exchanges, and Peer Reviews, and were encouraged to explore Portico, EUI’s online knowledge and community platform. Through interactive activities -such as the Matchmaking tree- and one-to-one consultations the stand highlighted the results and opportunities offered by EUI and the Urban Agenda for the EU.
Key features of the stand included:
- Bilateral meetings to provide more information and have cities preparing for Innovative Actions Call 4.
- An interactive “Matchmaking tree”, where participants shared challenges and solutions, fostering networking and peer learning.
- A Portico corner offering hands-on exploration of the platform and its resources.
- A showcase of Urban Agenda Partnerships, highlighting EUI’s role as the UAEU secretariat and its contribution to improved multilevel urban governance.
The EUI stand attracted a wide range of visitors — from local policymakers and city representatives to EU institutions — and provided an engaging, informative space to connect, learn, and explore opportunities for collaboration in line with the #EURegionsWeek 2025 theme “Shaping Tomorrow, Together.”
