The REGIOSTARS Awards are a yearly competition, organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy. It aims at identifying good practices in regional development and highlighting innovative, EU-funded projects, which could be attractive and inspiring to other regions and project managers

The REGIOSTARS Awards are Europe’s award to EU-funded projects which demonstrate excellence and new approaches in regional development. The European Commission started the award in 2008.
