This 11th debate will focus on understanding the current state of affairs in border regions and we will hear directly from the citizens who will share their on-ground perspectives. . The panel discussion will explore how policies and financial instruments, such as Interreg CBC programmes or CEF, can further improve the lives of cross-border citizens and maximise the potential of border regions.

The event, titled "How Can We Improve Cross-Border Citizens' Daily Lives?", will feature an esteemed panel, including:  

  • Jean-Pierre Halkin – Head of Unit, Interreg, Cross-Border Cooperation, Internal Borders, DG REGIO, European Commission
