XXV European Municipal Meetings

Three years after the pandemic: where are European local governments going?

The Office for Europe and International Strategy (OEEI), in collaboration with the Representation of the European Commission and the Office of the European Parliament in Barcelona, organized this 2023 the XXV European Municipal Meetings that are built on the legacy of the European Days that the Directorate of International Relations has been celebrating annually for more than two decades.

This edition, entitled "Three years after the pandemic: where are European local governments going?", aimed to generate a space for debate and exchange around how the current context of multiple interconnected crises is impacting management of European municipalities, and the policies and instruments that the European Union makes available to local governments to better respond to the needs of citizens and local agents.

The program of the Meetings combined dialogues between experts in European policies and local governments, experience roundtables and presentations on the European programs LIFE and Horizon Europe.

Below, attached to the program, you will find the links to download the presentations made by some speakers, as well as the different guides presented and the main take-aways and conclusions of the Meetings.
