The first edition of Science Meets Regions took place at the Committee of Regions (CoR) earlier this month and discussed how findings from research can serve as a basis for better decision-making on the regional level. During the event, over 200 politicians and scientists from EU regions presented their experiences of some pilot policy-research exchanges that where held during 2016. This initiative followed the recent launch of the Knowledge Centre for Territorial Policies, which is a new instrument to support regional policy-making.
