Unlike previous years, this year we had a fully virtual open day at the European Committee of the Regions (CoR). We could not open our doors as expected, but we did everything within our reach to provide you with a good overview of who we are and what we do.

​Regions and cities against COVID-19

As the voice of European regions and cities, the CoR is at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus since its outbreak in Europe and subsequent countries lockdown early March. The CoR is fully involved in helping to shape the EU's response to the pandemic.

Explore our Covid-19 exchange platform and see how your city/region/country is contributing to Europe's efforts to stop the virus.​

​Also worthy of note, a declaration on COVID-19 Response was adopted by the CoR on 8 May.​



Virus does not stop democracy  - ​
CoR at work

Despite the sudden coronavirus disruption, the CoR continues doing its best to bring Europe to the EU citizens. See how we are doing this by watching our ANIMATION video


​The CoR is the voice of regions and cities in the European Union (EU) and it was created in 1994 – meaning it's 25 year-old (or -young!)​ –​ to advise the EU on new laws that have an impact on regions and cities (70% of all legislation).

Regions and cities at the stage
Regions and cities are the core of our business. This is how relevant they are to us.

Our members at your service

Our members are your mayors or the presidents of the regions you come from. They've been elected at local or regional level and work to bridge the gap between EU citizens and the EU institutions. They bring citizens' con​cerns to the political table, debate legislation in plenary sessions and influence the EU decision making-process.

Have a look at our "What does Europe represent for me" video series.

THE meeting place
We've already mentioned some events organised by CoR. We have to say the CoR is not only a place where plenary sessions happen. It's THE meeting place place in Brussels for Europe's regions and cities. 

You might have already heard of our annual meeting European Week of Regions and Cities, the European Entrepreneurial Region, the European Summit of Regions and Cities, or the RegHub – Regional hubs project. Indeed, the word "region(s)" is mentioned a lot.

We have selected some pictures to give you a taste of how much goes on in here – see gallery below.​​
