        • Policy brief: a territorial approach to transitioning towards a circular economy
          February 14, 2022
          Building on the experience gained in the Circter project, this policy brief addresses and illustrates how the regulations and instruments available, such as those related to public procurement and spatial planning, can be used to facilitate the transition towards a circular economy. And provides food for thought for the 2021–27 cohesion policy programming period by highlighting policy priorities for regional development from a circular economy perspective.

      •  Stronger together: recovering through crises

      • The topics addressed during the ESPON week will turn the point of view on the dramatic short- and long-term effects of both the conflict in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic. It will launch a reflection and a debate around how cohesion policy (or other policies) should be further deployed and enhanced to better overcome territorial disparities. In this intricate context, the ESPON seminar brings together some of the most prominent organisations and researchers that are working on in Europe and will make use of the insights from the latest ESPON studies.
