The 8th Annual Forum of the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region took place on the 27 and 28th of June in Bucharest, Romania. The forum took place under the motto: ‘Building cohesion for a shared prosperity in the Danube Region’.

The agenda focused on competitiveness, connectivity and regional mobility, as well as on links between MSR and cohesion and also on the possibilities of creating synergies that can result in a better embedment of EUSDR into future EU programs and policies.
