Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISIEx post evaluation of Cohesion Policy programmes 2007-2013, focusing on the European on the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cohesion Fund (CF) – Work Package Eleven: European Territorial Cooperation
The project targets the ex post evaluation of European cohesion policy programmes in the 2007-2013 funding period with a specific focus on European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) programmes.
In this respect, documents and further material of cross-border cooperation programmes are analysed, complemented by personal exchanges with Managing Authorities. Additional detailed case studies in selected regions enable in-depth insight into the programmes supporting territorial cooperation across national borders.
The Fraunhofer ISI team plays an expert role for ETC programmes in Germany and Austria. The results obtained – as those generated by other regional experts - are integrated into the overall project and form the basis for evaluating cross-border cooperation programmes of the previous funding period.
