The next AEBR General Assembly 2017 and the Conference of European Border Regions will take place in Badajoz (Extremadura, ES) at the ES/PT border, on the occasion of the 750th Anniversary of the first Treaty of Badajoz, signed on 16th February 1267 between King Alfonso X of Castile and King Afonso III of Portugal establishing the border practically in the same demarcation as it currently has. There will be several cross-border activities, involving the partners in Portugal, so it will be a truly cross-border event.
