to a wide range of historic cities in Europe and beyond. Capitalising on the
experiences of the partner cities’ ULSG and developed with the input of EAHTR, this

7. Contribution to the EC’s Regions for Economic Change Initiative
(Fast–Track)
The European Commission has awarded HerO the "Fast Track Label", a specific instrument
of the Regions for Economic Change initiative which aims to get the cities
and the Managing Authorities of the European cohesion policy's Operational Programme
working together to enhance the impact exchange activities have on local
policies. The thematic network HerO will therefore strongly support the “two-way
bridge” between the thematic networking activities and the mainstream programmes
of the Structural Funds, linking the local, regional and project level.
7.1 Contribution to the EC’s Regions for Economic Change Initiative (Fast–Track)
The LP will represent the Fast-Track network in the frame of the EC’s ‘Regions for

in various EC DGs.
The LP will also ensure adequate presence at selected European events and trade
fairs focussing on urban development of cities and regions (e.g. OPEN DAYS -
European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels).
Furthermore the LP will contribute on demand to EC publications on Fast-Track and
help with the dissemination.
