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 carry out a SWOT analysis of the potential cross-border cooperation in key innovation sectors on the Brazil–Peru border area, a workshop and a study visit to the EU, as well as tutoring activities and a final meeting to support officials and experts responsible for regional innovation systems in Brazil and Peru.
