Collecting and analysing data for the post-27 INTERREG

McMaster, Irene (Principal Investigator) Vironen, Heidi (Academic) Georgieva, Neli (Researcher) Kah, Stefan (Academic)

The ESPON project “Collecting and analysing data for the post-27 INTERREG“ (Core-IB) is implemented within the framework of the ESPON Thematic Action Plan (TAP): Living, working and travelling across borders. The aim is to provide evidence-based analyses that contribute to the definition and the future orientation of the next generation of INTERREG post-2027. It addresses a multitude of stakeholders across the multi-level governance system, including the member states and the European Commission. The spatial focus of the project covers all EU internal cross-border regions across the entire ESPON Programme area, including regions on inland borders with Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
