In the framework of its dialogues on regional policy with countries outside the European Union (EU), the Directorate-General for Regional Policy is keen to share its experience on European regional policy by offering a mix of information sessions and study visits related to specific regional development interests raised by our external partners. The intention of this call for tenders is to organise information sessions in Russia and up to 4 other countries mainly but not exclusively from the European Neighbourhood followed by corresponding study visits in EU regions and concentrating on the management of cross-border cooperation.
