We are excited to invite you to the 10th-anniversary edition of the Mediterranean Coast and Macro-Regional Strategies Week, which will be held in Izola, Slovenia, from 15 to 18 September 2025.
This landmark event celebrates a decade of Mediterranean Coast Day, focusing on the vital balance between the region's economic opportunities and environmental preservation. Over the years, it has grown into a key gathering for all four EU macro-regional strategies, where partners and stakeholders come together for insightful discussions on critical topics. These conversations stimulate the advancement of macro-regional cooperation, spark fresh ideas and solutions, foster synergies, and ultimately improve the impact and value of collective efforts.
This year’s event will cover subjects such as reflections on the post-2027 Cohesion Policy and the vital challenge of climate resilience.
Expect an engaging array of activities, with a wide range of participants including politicians, decision-makers, experts, civil society representatives, and the general public, all joining at local, regional, national, and international levels.
As tradition dictates, the event will be held in the week leading up to Mediterranean Coast Day on September 25th, a day celebrated across Mediterranean nations. This date was chosen to recognize Slovenia as the first country in the Mediterranean to ratify the Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in 2009.
Be a part of this milestone celebration, marking 10 years of growth and collaboration in shaping the future of the Mediterranean coast!
