Background (II): Main Issues
•
Short-term project
•
The Specification established the object and the procedure: the
territorial dimension of the EU2020S through maps
•
... and a clear output: the Atlas
• Cartography will be based on a selected set of territorial
indicators at the appropriate geographical scale
• Indicators will be derived from the EU2020S documentation,
thus indirectly informing about the current economical and
financial crisis
3
Background (III): Objectives
•
Basic Aim: to illustrate the territorial dimension of the EU2020S,
that is, to show how the EU2020S acts territorially, particularly at the
regional scale
•
1st Major Objective: to assess how EU2020S documentation can
be territorially understood and expressed
•
2nd Major Objective: to analyse what means the territorial mosaic
resulting from considering the EU2020S at the regional scale
•
3rd Major Objective: to contribute with guidance for policy directions
and means of implementation of the EU2020S at the regional scale

Analysis and Elaboration of
Policy Recommendations
-
We are analyzing the information obtained through maps in
light of the EU2020S. That means not only interpreting the
produced cartography and thus providing a clear diagnosis of
the current territorial situation but also delivering strategic
policy messages and recommendations inferred from the
analysis.
