On 21 September, European Cooperation and the achievements of European Territorial Cooperation will be celebrated for the first time in several countries. Events will be taking place during the week of 17-23 September. This is not focused on scientific cooperation in particular, but scientific and higher education institutions are often involved in projects.

Almost 40 countries will come together to celebrate cooperation and bridge-building between local communities across borders. Public events will take place during the week of 17-23 September all over Europe. Besides the fun, this will also be an opportunity to discover all the improvements local initiatives have brought to all aspects of your daily life; from creating jobs, to improving health care services, and the protection of environment, transport or energy.

On http://www.ecday.eu/ you find a map showing all the events taking place, so you can spot the one closest to your location and you can also make sure that your event is being added during the coming months. Join in on the fun — share borders, grow closer!
