ESPON 2013 Programme Info Day on New Calls and Partner Café Call for Proposals on Targeted Analyses
Priority 2: Targeted Analyses based on User Demand • Objectives • 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 • Improve usefulness of ESPON results by testing new, experimental and innovative options • 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 • but • Due to transferable character of projects entire ESPON territory benefits
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). EoIs approved by ESPON MC are basis for development of project specifications => • Call for proposals for targeted analyses mainly addressed to research institutes and universities with the necessary analytical capacity to carry out the analysis. • Specific role of stakeholders in Priority 2 projects • Define content of projects and set up project specifications in cooperation with ESPON CU • Involved in selection of team of experts • Give guidance to targeted analysis (-> Steering Committee) • Apply project results in practice and disseminate results
Priority 2: Targeted Analyses based on User Demand • Implementation methodology • Steering Committee guiding the project, involving • Stakeholders • ESPON CU • TPG/team of experts • [Umbrella organisations, other interested stakeholders] • Please note: • For any questions in relation to any of the targeted analyses please contact the ESPON CU directly (not the stakeholders)

Identifying and Exchanging Best Practice in Developing Regional Integrated Strategies in Europe (RISE) • Key questions: • State of play of the RIS amongst the four RISE regions? • Compatibility between sectoral and territorial policies within a RIS? • How to enhance the integrated nature of regional? • Core indicators to measure the degree of integration of a RIS? • Monitoring and evaluation indicators and methodologies? • Different financing instruments? • Models of stakeholder engagement?
Identifying and Exchanging Best Practice in Developing Regional Integrated Strategies in Europe (RISE) • Purpose: • To enhance Europe’s understanding of integrated approaches. • To support regions in applying this new approach. • To analyse more in-depth the following key issues: • Integration • Financing • Monitoring and evaluation • To integrate the results of the above analyses in a new tool: • the RISE Toolkit.
