This report examines the governance and management of the European Structural Funds, focusing on their adaptation to the challenges of the green and digital transitions, and provides proposals for their future design (2028-2034).

 

 

Key Points:

• Cohesion Policy: Requires regional strategies to address disparities and promote sustainable development. Regional Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) are highlighted as crucial tools for innovation and transformation;

• New Priorities: Emphasis on the green and digital transitions, aligned with the European Green Deal and fostering socio-economic resilience;

• Simplification: Proposals include digitising procedures, increasing transparency, and adopting performance-based reimbursement models;

• Regional Participation: Recommendations to strengthen collaboration among local actors and promote cross-border projects to maximise the impact of investments;

• Innovation and Sustainability: Suggested instruments include experimental funding, innovative public procurement, and nature-based solutions.

The report concludes that flexible, integrated, and results-oriented governance will be essential to address regional challenges and optimise the use of European funds in the coming years.
