Assembly of European Regions - European organisation

Map of European Regions

The Assembly of European Regions (est.1985) is the largest independent network of regions in the wider Europe.

Bringing together over 270 regions from 33 countries and 16 interregional organisations, AER's mission is to:

- Promote the principle of subsidiarity and regional democracy;
- Increase the regions' political influence within the European institutions;
- Support the regions in the process of European enlargement and globalisation;
- Facilitate interregional cooperation across wider Europe and beyond.

AER's President is Michèle SABBAN, Vice-President of Ile-de-France (F).

AER Summer Schools 2010

Rorschach (CH), 26 August 2010.

The AER organised, for the first time in cooperation with two regions namely the Swiss Cantons of St.Gallen and Thurgau, its 15th Summer School and 9th Youth Summer School. For five days, regional decision makers, experts and young people gathered to find out how to improve mobility in Europe while at the same time reducing congestion, accidents and pollution.
