Workshop 2.2. Territorial Co-operation and Tools
TranSMEC
Transnational support method for European
Co-operation
Dorothea Palenberg, blue! advancing european projects
What is TranSMEC all about?
Our “operating basis/cockpit” is
INTERREG III B and IV B NORTH
WEST EUROPE programme, we
would like to …
the
… execute a demand driven application of ESPON results in order to
improve the operational linkage between an “Objective 3 Structural
fund programme” and ESPON evidence.
•
Generate practical – easy understandable - tools that are
needed for programme implementers in order to be able to
generate evidence-based and solid communication to the
outside world.
•
Develop tools that assist a more evidence based steering of
the programme in the future
What does that mean for our work?
•
Ascending and overlooking the
ESPON data pile
•
Filter out evidence base that is
suitable for our objectives
•
Create tools (e.g. overlay maps) that
show new cross-references between
territoral evidence base and the results
of the programme
•
Illustrate the functioning of new tools
in case studies
•
Create instruments to assist
programme steering and programme
Our general objective:
How do we proceed?
QUESTION/ASSUMPTION NO 1
Relevant cross references can be established between
evaluation/analysis of INTERREG III B NWE and ESPON
projects
Working approach
•
Screen existing ESPON Projects and develop a project list
•
Filter out information/maps with the potential to establish cross
references to the NWE III B priorities
•
•
•
•
•
•
Innovation
Attractive and coherent system of cities, town and regions
External and internal accessibility
Sustainable management of water resources and prevention of floods
Sustainable development, prudent management and protection of other natural
resources and cultural heritage
Promoting the maritime potential of NWE and its territorial integration across seas
How do we proceed?
QUESTION/ASSUMPTION NO 2
Reflection on usability of ESPON data might help to
improve the operational linkage between ESPON and
INTERREG III and IV B NWE
Working approach
•
Reflect on usability of ESPON data for the TranSMEC purpose, e.g.
•
Comparability of information presented
•
Accessiblity of data for the production of overlay maps
How do we proceed?
QUESTION/ASSUMPTION NO 3
Overlay maps can represent accessible and
understandable tools for communicating the performance
of Objective 3 structural funds programmes
Working approach
•
•
•
Select existing ESPON maps with data that are comparable to the
information provided from the INTERREG NWE program
Zoom in on NWE region OR position NWE region in a wider European
context
Superpositionig with existing maps on the INTERREG III B NWE
programme, such as
•
•
•
Overall ERDF expenditure on NUTS II/III level
Location of active participants in the programme on NUTS II/III level
Interpretation and analysis taking into account the limitations and
uncertainties
How do we proceed?
QUESTION/ASSUMPTION NO 4
ESPON evidence base can help to targeted steering of
ongoing programmes
Working approach
•
Analysis of current INTERREG IV B NWE programme information (e.g.
gap analysis)
•
Use ESPON information to help e.g. the demarcation of a thematically
targeted call
Which questions are we currently wrestling with?
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
How can meaningful overlay maps be produced?
•Degree of detailedness
•Further factors (national, Objective 2 investments)
TERRITORIAL IMPACT OF INNOVATION
How can the ERDF activity area “innovation” be crossreferenced with territorial impact?
ADDED VALUE OF TRANSNATIONAL CO-OPERATION
Following which indicators can the EU added value be measured….and
visualized?
•Indicator “improvements due to transnational approach”
•Indicator “transnationally active region”
