EPP-CoR Group to play central role in European Week of Cities and Regions through #EPPLocalDialogue
The pandemic has shown us the importance of the digital transition and to an extent speeded up this process. Various challenges still exist across villages, cities and regions which European policies need to address.
In this regard, the EPP Group in the European Committee of the Regions will be holding a fully online event as part of the European Week of Regions and Cities on Tuesday, 12 October 2021 between 11.30 a.m. and 1 p.m. The aim is to discuss the Digital Transition and the role digitalisation can play to ensure economic recovery through resilient cities and regions.
The event will include two sessions. The first one 'Cities and regions in the digital age' will focus on education and innovation as a means to shape the future of European communities. This session will be addressed by Olgierd Geblewicz, EPP-CoR President and Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. The second session 'Tackling the digital divide for Europe's recovery' will focus on the role of local and regional authorities to achieve a competitive and resilient Europe will include Eva Maydell, MEP as a speaker. A Q&A session will follow after each session.
Interpretation will be available in Polish, English and German.
