Since 2006, these "local events" have been part of the European Week of Regions and Cities - OPEN DAYS, organised every year by the Committee of the Regions and the European Commission (DG REGIO). For the regions and cities participating in the OPEN DAYS, the organisation of at least one local event is compulsory. Other partners, such as representations of the European Parliament or of the European Commission, Europe Direct Centres, etc., join the project, and this led to an additional 22 local events in 2014. On top of these, some 120 events were organised for the third year under the heading of the European Cooperation Day (ECD) on and around 21 September 2014 (www.ecday.eu). The

Now, with further funding from the Economic and social research council and support from several government departments, the monitoring programme is continuing for a further three years from 2006 until the end of 2008. Three times per year, the research network produces detailed reports covering developments in devolution in five areas: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Englsh Regions, and Devolution and the Centre. The overall monitoring project is managed by Professor Robert Hazell at The Constitution Unit, UCL and the team leaders are as follows: Scotland: Dr Paul Cairney University of Aberdeen Wales: Prof Richard Wyn Jones & Prof Roger Scully Institute of Welsh Politics, Aberystwyth University Northern Ireland: Professor Rick Wilford & Robin Wilson Queen’s University, Belfast English Regions: Prof Alan Harding & Dr James Rees IPEG, University of Manchester The Centre: Prof Robert Hazell, The Constitution Unit, UCL The Constitution Unit and the rest of the research network is grateful to all the funders of the devolution monitoring programme.

    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Stevns Klint - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Stevns Klint 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Denmark Inscribed in: 2014 Criteria: (viii) This geological site comprises a 15 km-long fossil-rich coastal cliff, offering exceptional evidence of the impact of the Chicxulub meteorite that crashed into the planet at the end of the Cretaceous, about 65 million years ago. Researchers think that this caused the most remarkable mass extinction ever, responsible for the disappearance of over 50 per cent of all life on Earth. The site harbours a record of the cloud of ash formed by the impact of the meteorite – the exact site being at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. An exceptional fossil record is visible at the site, showing the complete succession of fauna and micro-fauna charting the recovery after the mass extinction. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD The site’s features providing evidence of the meteorite impact and its outstanding fossil record are well preserved and the site has been and will remain of iconic scientific significance. Stevns Klint World Heritage site benefits from a strong legislative framework, effective collaboration of a number of local organizations that cover its management and a very strong support and engagement of the local community and private landowners. The current threats to the site’s values are very low and well regulated. The anticipated increase in visitation will need to be properly addressed and will require additional resources.
