There are over 170 working sessions in this year's edition, covering topics as varied as the future of cohesion policy and EU budget, new challenges in the health sector, boosting cross-border regions with eGovernment solutions or improving access to markets for SMEs. Many more topics and themes will be addressed and debated during this busy event, which attracts over 6000 attendees, 600 speakers and 200 journalists from over 70 countries in Brussels. EPP-CoR members will be taking part in the debates in the various sessions throughout the week.
