Dear colleagues,

We have the pleasure to invite you to the Conference „Strengthening regional parliaments in EU affairs: challenges, practices and perspectives“, that will be held on Wednesday, 2 July 2014 in Brussels.

The conference is jointly organised by the Committee of the Regions and the Jean Monnet Chair from Tuebingen University, Gabriele Abels.

The conference aims to raise the awareness for the role and the challenges for regional parliaments. Contributions by academics and practitioners focus on a first evaluation of the new mechanisms and their use by regional parliaments. In addition, the conference aims to bring in contact practitioners from regional parliaments with each other and with policy-makers and experts at the European level.

You can find the preliminary conference programme and the online registration form on the CoR website.

Please feel free to forward this invitation.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at this conference.

Kind regards,

The conference team from Tuebingen University
