As mentioned in a previous post, some seasons are particularly rich in events in many subject areas: in addition to the May-June period, so-called “European weeks” and “European days” are mainly concentrated during ‘autumn.
If the first yellow leaves make you want to set out again for new discoveries and perhaps a new trip, check out this post: there are European weeks in all areas and events in many cities!
Articolo non aggiornato.
Some “Europeanweeks” and “European days” are organized directly by EU institutions and have been a benchmark in their field for years; others are more recent and organized in partnership by other actors.
In all cases, these are unique opportunities for meeting, networking, learning about successful projects and ideas, and learning more about progress in Europe in the relevant thematic area.
Happy consultation and good participation!
