EPRC at ad hoc seminar in Naples on the long-term achievements of Cohesion policy

Laura Polverari was an invited speaker at a seminar in Naples, organised by the evaluation unit of the Campania regional authority. She presented the results of a recently completed study on the long-term achievements of Cohesion policy (1989 to 2012), providing an overview of the study's main conclusions, both comparative and in relation to the Campania case study. Her presentation was followed by active discussion with participants on the implications of the study for the new, 2014-2020, programme period and the challenges that need to be addressed in order to ensure an effective use of EU funds in the region.
