The report presents the final results in a compact way, providing an integrated perspective on cross-border regions, via the related territorial analyses. It synthesizes the approach to delineating cross-border functional areas, including its testing and results; it also provides an overview on the cross-border governance structures, based on the desk research. In a complementary step, cross-cutting findings from the 10 case studies - including the results of the Futures workshops run with the stakeholders - are presented.  The final chapter synthesises the findings from the analytical streams and puts forward a set of policy recommendations tested in the stakeholder consultations, and the future research needs.
