Stefan Kah and John Bachtler have been involved in the ex-ante evaluation of the future Austrian ERDF programme. The study, which was led by Joanneum Research, is part of the preparations for the forthcoming 2014-20 Structural Funds programme period in Austria. The new programme will provide over 536 million of funding from the European Regional Development Fund, which will be complemented by almost 1.5 billion of domestic Austrian co-funding.
