RESEARCH AND CONSULTANCY - EU regional policy

The Visegrad Countries have been EU members for five years. The assistance of the Structural Funds started with small delay. The time gap between accession and recent position enables to work on the evaluation of the real impacts of EU Cohesion Policy in those countries.

It isn’t an ambition of this project to evaluate overall impacts of the Structural Funds in the Visegrad Countries. The team composed of experts from NGOs and universities across the Central Europe agreed on preparation case studies concerning impacts on Civil Society and SMEs in the countries in question. This approach enables to find interesting cases and propose them to dissemination during the following programming period in other countries.
