To mark the 20th anniversary of the IQ-Net network, network director Professor John Bachtler and network manager Stefan Kah were interviewed for an article published in DG Regio’s Panorama magazine. The IQ-Net network was established in 1996 by programme managers from Objective 2 regions in 7 EU Member States. Twenty years later, it continues to thrive and now brings together regional and national organisations from Structural Funds programmes across 18 countries. The next meeting of the network will be in Prague in May 2016, where the future of Cohesion policy post-2020 will be discussed, along with progress in implementing 2007-13 and 2014-20 programmes.
