ESPON in cooperation with the European Commission DG Regio organised the Workshop “Regional and Local Economies in a Changing Global Context. Performance Monitoring and Territorial Indicators” at the Open Days 2011 - European Week of Regions and Cities.

With the aim to facilitate exchange, debate and networking among Europe’s experts and decision-makers in regional and local development, important ESPON project achievements related to EU competitiveness, and the contribution of regions and cities to the ‘Europe 2020’ strategy opting for intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth, have been discussed with participants.

New results from applied research on the territorial impact and effects of globalization (ESPON TIGER) and climate change (ESPON CLIMATE) were presented.

Policy makers involved in territorial development and cohesion had the opportunity to find out the progress made in monitoring territorial performance (ESPON TPM) and in defining territorial indicators (ESPON INTERCO).
