Brief description
The Assembly of European Regions is the largest independent network of regions in the wider Europe. Bringing together over 270 regions from 33 countries and 16 interregional organisations, some AER's objectives are to increase the regions' political influence within the European institutions and to facilitate interregional cooperation across wider Europe and beyond.

Every two years, AER awards the “Most Youth-Friendly Region” award. AER has been lead and partner in several INTERREG projects.

Since youth entreprenership is a key topic for many regions, the information from the YES project will be actively promoted and absorbed through the AER channels of information.
