Our region covers an area of 36,850 km², slightly larger than Belgium, and has a population of approximately 3,3 million inhabitants. It is part of the eastern border of the EU and NATO, bordering Ukraine to the north and the Republic of Moldova to the east.
Iași is the main city in the region, a major IT and cultural hub, known for its young student-driven population and strong academic ecosystem, while Iași International Airport handles over 2 million passengers annually and connects the region to more than 20 European destinations, supporting its fast-growing economy in education, IT, healthcare, and services.

ERRIN spent the European Week of Regions and Cities moderating sessions, following debates and meeting more than a dozen member delegations. Here is a selection of the moments closest to our priorities, from the EU Missions and the next MFF to talent, culture and competitiveness.
The European Week of Regions and Cities, taking place in Brussels from 12–14 October 2026, will once again serve as a leading platform for dialogue on regional and urban policy in Europe.

North-East Romania Regional Development Agency is particularly interested in good practices related to the integration of Regional Programmes with the SDGs, as well as discussions on regional planning for the 2028–2034 EU funding cycle, policy coherence for sustainable development, institutional coordination mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation frameworks and the use of official statistics and SDG indicators in evidence-based policymaking.
