  1. ESPON 2013 Programme Info Day on New Calls and Partner Café Call for Proposals on Targeted Analyses

  2. Priority 2: Targeted Analyses based on User Demand • Objectives: • Action 1: Provide evidence and knowledge based on ESPON results on strengths and weaknesses of regions/larger territories from European perspective, giving regions the option to compare themselves to other regions, thereby finding competitive advantages for development and cooperation • Action 2: Improve usefulness of ESPON results by testing new, experimental and innovative options • Action 3: Provide analytical support and evidence based on ESPON results on thematic priorities in cooperation with other SF Programmes • Geographical coverage of projects: • More limited than Priority 1 with greater geographical detail • Due to transferable character of projects entire ESPON territory benefits

  3. Priority 2: Targeted Analyses based on User Demand • A two-step procedure towards Targeted Analysis • Submission of expressions of interest (EoI) by stakeholders (i.e. public authorities of EU27+4, partnerships of regions and/or cities).
