Citizens and civil society have an important role to play in shaping the European Union and its policies. This was recognised by the future Commission, through the political guidelines of President-elect Ursula von der Leyen. She underlined that she will be making efforts to assure that European citizens will play a leading and active rol3 in building the future of the Union. Constant engagement with citizens strengthens European identity and democracy and ensures greater ownership of the European Project.
For this purpose, on 6 February 2020 a high-level conference on engaging citizens and civil society in Cohesion Policy will take place in the Belgian capital. The event, organised by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO), will congregate citizens, representatives of civil society, politicians, policymakers and academia from across the Union and beyond.
