🌍 Last week, Francesco Molica from EURADA - European Association of Development Agencies visited SIRIS Academic in Barcelona to discuss ideas on shared interests and avenues for future collaborations. 🎓 We also had the opportunity to host his presentation on the future of EU Cohesion Policy and the significant changes currently reshaping the role of regions in Europe and the role of framework programmes. ⚙️ We were joined by Francesco Cappellano, who complemented EURADA’s perspective with insights into cooperation dynamics in strategic technological areas such as hydrogen. 📊 In this evolving context, an in-depth understanding of open data on regional or Horizon Projects, combined with strong expertise in policy processes, regional needs and the specificities of technological value chains — is likely to become even more relevant, as high-quality policy intelligence and analysis will be essential to help stakeholders navigate an increasingly complex landscape. 🤝 We look forward to building on this exchange and further strengthening the collaboration.
