#EUInMyRegion campaign kicks off: Thousands of EU-funded projects in the spotlight
Visit an EU-funded sugar factory in Machico, Portugal, a chemistry research centre in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, or take a walk in Charleroi, Belgium, to spot EU-funded projects in the city. Throughout May, the EU In My Region campaign will allow citizens to discover thousands of EU-funded projects across the EU; find one near you on this interactive map.
People can also share their experience on EU-funded projects in regions via a photo and a blogging contest. Commissioner for regional policy Corina Crețu said: "The EU is closer to you than you think. EU investments are making a real difference in your everyday life; from the purchase of new medical equipment in hospitals to villages getting broadband and small businesses accessing loans. The 'EU in my Region' campaign will help these projects get the attention they deserve."
In April 2017, Commissioner Crețu and Commissioner Thyssen presented seven communication actions, as part of a broader effort to improve the visibility of cohesion policy projects; the 'EU in my Region' campaign featured in the action plan as a communication tool that has proven to deliver.
