On 10th October 2016 the Centre for Cross Border Studies held an important discussion event on the future of Cross-Border Cooperation in the wake of the UK’s referendum on membership of the European Union. The event which took place at the Northern Ireland Executive Office in Brussels provided a vital opportunity to debate how cross-border cooperation can continue to contribute to the socio-economic development of border regions, it also focused on three core issues:
- The role of cross-border cooperation in supporting peace and reconciliation
- Cross-border collaboration between local authorities
- Active citizen participation in cross-border cooperation
