Targeted Analyses
Targeted Analyses, conducted under Priority 2 of the ESPON 2013 Programme, represent a new type of projects supporting the use of existing results in partnership with different groups of stakeholders.
Introducing a new approach to the generation of project ideas as well as to the implementation of projects, Targeted Analyses provide an opportunity to stakeholders for:
- Enhancing their understanding of the larger territorial context,
- Making comparisons to other territories, regions and cities, and
- Including a European perspective to considerations on the development of their territories.
The Targeted Analyses are carried through in close cooperation between stakeholders, a group of experts and the ESPON Programme and emphasis is put on the operational use of the results of the analyses in practice.
