EU Cohesion policy
The Commission opens applications to reward the best Cohesion Policy supported projects
The European Commission has begun the 2025 edition of the REGIOSTARS competition which will award the best Cohesion Policy supported projects in the EU. Between 11 February and 20 May 2025, beneficiaries of Cohesion projects all over the EU can apply to the awards in one of five thematic categories: 1) ‘A Competitive and Smart Europe'; 2) ‘A Green Europe'; 3) ‘A Connected Europe'; 4) ‘A Social and Inclusive Europe'; and 5) ‘A Europe Closer to Citizens'. The public will also be able to choose their favourite project by participating in the ‘REGIOSTARS Public Vote'.
Commenting on the competition launch, Cohesion and Reforms Executive Vice President Raffaele Fitto (pictured) said: “The REGIOSTARS competition will allow the best Cohesion supported projects to show their excellence in transforming Europe's regions and improving people's lives. By illustrating ideas and good practices, these projects will be an inspiration for other regions. I encourage as many projects as possible to apply!”
The winning project representatives will receive a REGIOSTARS trophy. The Commission will then organise local mini communication campaigns with the collaboration of the winning project promoters and the respective Managing Authorities.
More information on how to apply can be found on the REGIOSTARS website. You can also see last year's REGIOSTARS winners online.
