12th AFCCRE European University (in-person)

Many challenges will mark the start of the European academic year in September 2026: among them, the reform of the post-2027 multiannual financial framework, negotiations on European priorities in economic, social, and environmental matters, as well as repeated attacks on the principles of local democracy, will have a direct impact on the European projects of local authorities.

Following the new local elections in France, more than ever, local authorities at all levels must unite to have a greater impact on the debates, promote their actions, and demonstrate once again their ability to reconnect Europe with its citizens.

AFCCRE’s work will therefore focus on the following themes:

• The future European budget 2028-2034: what clarity and opportunities does it offer for local authorities?
• How to raise European awareness among citizens? The contribution of exchanges and town twinning.
• A Europe strengthened by its territorial cooperation: a focus on Euro-Mediterranean dynamics.

Aimed at elected representatives and local government officials, the AFCCRE European University is the annual gathering for all those who wish to learn, discuss and understand the major European issues currently affecting territories.
