In the framework of its dialogues on regional policy with countries outside the European Union, the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy is keen to share its experience on European regional policy by offering technical assistance, training and expert advice related to specific regional development's interests raised by our external partners. The intention is to organise up to 2 workshops in Latin America, a study visit to Europe and 2 tutoring activities to support officials responsible for regional innovation systems in Chile and Peru.
