Consistently with the mission of providing true added value to member regions, AER takes part in EU projects which benefit our membership in the following manners:
- developing know-how on EU funding programmes which allowed us then to provide members with detailed information on new funding programmes through briefing notes, information sessions as well as training sessions;
- developing expertise in various policy fields to feed into the work of our Working Groups and Task Forces, thus capitalising on the experience of a few regions for the benefit of the whole network;
- gathering good and bad practices and lessons learnt from regions in different policy areas;
- assisting regions in improving their policies by applying our Peer Review* methodology and methodology for the transfer of good practice (from our experience in Rur@ct)

* the AER peer review methodology was developed as a tool to implement true peer-to-peer learning. The core of the methodology is based on the principle that all regions have something to learn from others and also to bring. A peer review is not a one-way method but a true win-win experience for all regions involved. The aim of the peer review method is to identify, in a given field, the potential and strengths of a region’s policies.
