The XVIII UBC General Conference to be held in Słupsk/Dolina Charlotty, Poland, on 4-7 November 2025.
The theme of the conference is “Reinforcing UBC Member Cities’ role in EU Policymaking and participation in EU funded projects”.
As the European Union embarks on a new financial programming period, cities are uniquely positioned to influence and benefit from EU policies. This conference will focus on strengthening the role of cities in the EU, ensuring their priorities influence policy and funding decisions. The agenda will address navigating new EU financial frameworks, enhancing advocacy, maximizing funding opportunities, building policy engagement capacities, fostering inter-city cooperation, and maintaining urban issues on the EU agenda.
Over 200 city representatives as well as EU officials, policymakers and stakeholders from the Baltic Sea region and beyond, will foster dialogue and collaborations essential for urban influence in EU affairs.
The General Assembly of the UBC will take place on 6 November 2025. The General Assembly shall, inter alia, elect the Presidium, consisting of the President and Vice-Presidents, the Executive Board, the Board of Audit, for a two-year period.
Cities are encouraged to include at least 1-2 young people in the city’s delegation.
