![Page 2: European Macro-Regions Andrea Gramillano t33 ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d755503460f94a5554d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
1. Are there certain standards that can be found in all macro regions? What are unique conditions for the European macro-regions?
2. How do macro-regions take on-board European and global development dynamics?
3. How could continuous territorial evidence and tailor-made benchmarking support efficient implementation and investments?
Key questions

1) Macro-regionalisation process in Europe
![Page 5: European Macro-Regions Andrea Gramillano t33 ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d755503460f94a5554d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
a) Macro regions at a glance• Focus: institutional macro-regionalisation process
• Purpose: Promoting place-based and coordinated Cohesion policy Promoting multi-level governance Strengthening cooperation with neighboring countries(foreign policy) Reducing regional disparities and promoting territorial cohesion Increasing value for money (effectiveness)
1) Macro-regionalisation process in Europe
Front-runners (under implementation)
• Baltic Sea region • Danube region
New (definition of the strategy)
• Adriatic Ionian region (2014)
• Alpine region (2015)
Future (under consideration)
• Carpathian region, Black sea, Atlantic Arc, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea

b) Common standards to all macro-regions
1) Macro-regionalisation process in Europe
Features Challenges
1 Sharing common territories and functional characteristics (“soft spaces”)
-“Transforming” the common natural resource (sea, river) from being a barrier in a bridge- Given financial allocation of the programmes
2 Based on multi-level governance (vertical and horizontal coordination)
Complexity of multi-level governance procedures (a lot of cooperation spaces)
European and global dynamics?

1) Macro-regionalisation process in Europe
c) Unique conditions for European Macro-regions 1) European and global development dynamics
Sustainable management of the resources and exploitation
of the growth potential (attractiveness + accessibility)

c) Unique conditions for European Macro-regions
2) The specificity of the natural environment (EUSAIR, DANUBE)
3) Cooperation background (EUSAIR, BALTIC)

2) The experience of ESPON TerrEvi project
![Page 11: European Macro-Regions Andrea Gramillano t33 ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d755503460f94a5554d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2) The experience of ESPON TerrEvi project
Territorial needs
identification
Strategy justification
Project selection
Monitoring and
evaluation
Stakeholders’ consultation
Why question of the project: Can ESPON evidence be relevant (usable and useful) for Programming?
a)TerrEvi project
![Page 12: European Macro-Regions Andrea Gramillano t33 ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d755503460f94a5554d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
a)TerrEvi project
Main evaluation activities and tools
1. Various tools: Maps (Zoom – in and zoom-out), Box-plots and Traffic lights, Table with list of relevant ESPON readings
2. Products • 66 factsheets (53 CBC and 13 TNC programmes)• 10 Territorial Evidence Packs
3. Dissemination activities (website, app, social network and 5 local events)

What can be used for “Macro-regions”???

3) Conclusions: opportunities for ESPON development
![Page 15: European Macro-Regions Andrea Gramillano t33 ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d755503460f94a5554d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
- Results of TerrEvi project on the use of ESPON Evidence
- Macro-regions: additional challenges (e.g. non- Eu countries)
3) Conclusions: opportunities for ESPON development
Territorial needs identification
Strategy justification
Stakeholders’ involvement
Project selection
Monitoring and evaluation system
ESPON is used
ESPON could be used ?
ESPON is difficult to be used

3) Conclusions: opportunities for ESPON development
16
• Data collection (over time and at lower territorial level) and integration with other sources
Challenge of data
availability
• Identifying a sample of (result) indicators
Limited data
usability
ESPON for benchmarking
across programmes
ESPON support for policy
implementation and evaluation
(“name & shame”)
Macro-regions
Cohesion policy maker perspective

3) Conclusions: opportunities for ESPON development
17
• Involving stakeholders and citizens (social networks) in discussing ESPON evidence
Data “accessibility”
• Involving stakeholders (out of the ESPON community) in discussing ESPON evidence (e.g. innovation)
Need of a broader focus
ESPON as a tool of policy
accountability and awareness
ESPON as a reference beyond
Cohesion policy
Outside Cohesion policy perspective
