VENUE

The financial and economic crisis hit Europe with full force at the end of the last decade. Overcoming this crisis is  one  of  the  biggest  challenges  the European Union has faced since its establishment.  Although there are signs of improvement visible in many areas, including economic growth and financial stabilisation, some of  the  effects  of  the  recession  – especially  the  high rates of unemployment  –  present a serious  political  and  social problem in Europe. 

You are cordially invited to attend the official launch of the 'Hearts and Minds for Europe' website. The event will take place on 23 April 2014 at 1.00 pm at the Committee of the Regions, room 51, Jacques Delors building, Rue Belliard 99-102, 1040 Brussels.

The presentation of the website will be followed by a short reception.
