Right to Stay Strategy: Your Region, Your Future

The Commission's Call for Evidence for the new "Right to Stay" Strategy closes tonight, 5 June 2026, at midnight (Brussels time).

The Right to Stay is about a simple idea: people should be able to build their future where they call home, and leaving should be a choice — never something forced by a lack of jobs, skills, healthcare or basic services. That's daily life in our rural, mountain, remote and border communities, and Interreg has been making "staying" possible there for two programming periods.

Have your say (2 minutes): https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/18032-Right-to-Stay-Strategy-Your-Region-Your-Future_en

Leaving should be a choice. Let's prove it.
