    Goals / Remit

    Founded in 1992, the European Association of Economic Development Agencies brings together professionals working on regional development in Europe. During more than three decades EURADA has been supporting the internationalisation of regional and local development agencies; they can network, advocate, and participate at both EU and international level.

    A Development Agency is an entity that carries out an territorial development mission characterised by the search of the collective or overall interest of a specific area (and not corporative or sectorial), and that is significantly linked with a local, metropolitan or regional authority with respect to management, financing or missions. A Development Agency is a designated public meeting place and/or orchestrator of local stakeholders with a dynamic structure oriented to support the innovation ecosystems. EURADA is their European well-established facility.

An annual Winter School in February in cooperation with OECD is organised since 2023, aiming at deepening the knowledge of the regions and territories and a forum for members of the association can discuss place-based policy evolution. A Summer School is organised yeaxch year with the aim to upgarde members skills to develop policies at regional level on differnt topics and to prepare successful proposals and other competitive programmes.

    Meetings

    2 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
