This webinar brings together EU officials and researchers to discuss EU cohesion policy's contribution to the post-pandemic recovery. It will present the key actions and challenges involved in overcoming current issues and will provide an opportunity for discussion and debate between the participants and presenters.

The #EURegionsWeekCollege is the replacement for the face-to-face masterclass that has taken place in previous years. The online format offers a unique opportunity to open up the masterclass to a broader and more inclusive audience and hence an open invitation has been issued to Europe's early-career and student community.

The #EURegionsWeekCollege is specifically designed for students and early-career researchers and forms part of the capacity-building efforts of the #EURegionsWeek partners. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the discussions.

The #EURegionsWeekCollege webinar series is organised by the European Commission, the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), with advice from the Regional Studies Association European Foundation (RSA Europe) and with the cooperation of the European Regional Science Association (ERSA) and the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP). This combination of input ensures an expert and balanced programme of events aimed at capacity-building in the European research community.
