Discover what the EU does for you and your area: #EUinMyRegion
Europe in my Region is an annual EU-wide campaign to show citizens the EU-funded projects in the regions they live in. This is achieved through involving citizens to explore EU projects with own eyes and by encouraging people to share images as well as experiences via social media and contests. In addition, one can take part in a quiz on the European Commission’s website with great prizes. In order to learn more about the projects funded by the EU all over Europe, thousands of European projects are eager to give the public an insight in their project work.
EU Projects Open Days
You may remember last year’s Europe in my Region days, where over 2,700 projects in 25 countries welcomed citizens and showed them what they as regional projects are doing for the people in the EU. This year in May thousands of EU-funded projects will again open their doors for everyone that is interested in discovering what the EU is achieving in European regions. Sometimes even whole cities, for example Vienna, take part in the Open Days, enabling their citizens to explore EU-funded projects in the city. Be sure not to miss interesting events in your region, check out the events map to see on which days in May all EU Projects Open Days take place and which ones are nearby.
