EPRC at the Open Days in Brussels

EPRC took part in the Open Days initiative organised by the European Commission and Committee of the Regions on 27-30 September to promote exchange of experience on Structural Fund programme management issues. John Bachtler chaired two seminars at the North-Rhine Westphalia Regional Office in Brussels, the first involving a round table of political representatives representing the European Industrial Regions Association (EIRA) and the second discussing the contribution of inter-regional exchange of experience to better programme management (and drawing heavily on the experience of IQ-Net partners from Wales, North-Rhine Westphalia and Western Scotland). Summaries of the seminars should appear on the Open Days website shortly at: http://www.cor.eu.int/opendays/opendays/opendays.html http://www.cor.eu.int/opendays/opendays/opendays.html
