EU Cities and Regions Apply to Cooperate with Canada and the United States through the EU Cities Gateway – North America (EUCG-NA) Programme
Take this opportunity to become a global partner in shaping sustainable and innovative solutions for cities and regions.
Why Join the EUCG?
- The EU Cities Gateway – North America (EUCG-NA) is an EU-funded programme running from 2025 to 2028, designed to strengthen cooperation between cities and regions in the EU, the U.S., and Canada. Building on the Global Covenant of Mayors in North America and the International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) in North America, EUCG-NA connects local and regional authorities to co-develop practical solutions to shared urban challenges. The focus is on innovation, sustainability, and inclusive development, with an emphasis on real, actionable policy exchange.
- What sets EUCG-NA apart is its multi-pairing approach, enabling cities and regions to engage with multiple stakeholders to foster richer collaboration, broader learning, and more diverse perspectives. Participants will benefit from thematic networks, peer-to-peer exchange, study visits, networking events and structured consultations involving civil society, academia, and the private sector. A dedicated knowledge base including policy briefs, thematic webinars, and podcasts supports learning and capacity-building. By joining EUCG-NA, cities expand their international partnerships, draw on innovative practices from across the Atlantic, and actively shape the future of urban development.
This is your chance to co-create local pilot projects that deliver global impact, while gaining insights from an international community of innovators.
Activities will start in September 2025.
