TIPTAP - Territorial Impact Package for Transport and Agricultural Policies

Main research areas

• Exploration of four types of impacts – the impacts on regional situation (economic/social/environmental), regional competitiveness (Lisbon strategy), climate change and territorial impacts, related to the concept of territorial cohesion.
• Assessment of average impacts on specific typologies of regions, trans-national cooperation areas, cross-border and interregional cooperation areas.
• Mapping of results, conclusions and policy suggestions for a better compliance with the Lisbon agenda, climate change agenda or territorial cohesion strategies.

Impacts are assessed, where possible, at NUTS 3 level.

Main results envisaged

• Evidence on the territorial impact of transport and agricultural policy.
• Indicators offering key information on impacts of policies on the economic-social-environmental-cultural situation of regions and cities, on impacts related to the Lisbon strategy and to climate change, and on territorial phenomena and aims related to European policy orientations.
• A territorial impact assessment tool, including a model and a road map for implementation.
• European maps related to the testing and use of the developed TIA tool on at least two EU policies
