Smart specialisation, integrated strategies and territorial cohesion: tension or synergies
27 September 2012 - Brussels
ESPON 2013 Programme:
The territorial dimension of EU policy
The ESPON 2013 Programme
Role in Structural Funds 2007-2013:– Support EU Cohesion Policy development with pan-
European, comparable facts and evidence on Territorial Structures, Trends, Perspectives and Policy Impacts
– Focus on European Regions and Cities, and revealing territorial capital, potentials and challenges.
Budget 2007-13:– 47 mill Euro (ERDF 34 mill. Euro, plus 13 mill. Euro from
31 countries)
Programme Priorities:– P 1: Applied Research – P 2: Targeted Analyses based on Stakeholder interest – P 3: Scientific Platform and Tools– P 4: Capitalisation

Demands from EU Policy and EC Regulations
Key demands –Territorial dimension due to Territorial Cohesion in Treaty–Place-based and Integrated approach–Evidence informed policy and programming –Concentration on priority themes for investment (CSF)–Concrete results (important for recovery)–EU policy affects regions differently–Exploring diversity through tailor made policy mixes with integrated solutions
Total Pillar 1 support per Agricultural Work Unit (1999)
•Concentration in prosperous northern areas of Europe
Total Pillar 2 support per Agricultural Work Unit (1999)
•more dispersed, but still mainly reaching richer regions

Including a European perspective
Using ESPON in analyses for integrated regional strategies:
– Openness for adding a European perspective– Benchmarking/learning the strategy area within numerous
themes related to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth– Look for swot’s of (1) the entire area, (2) for particular regions
and cities, (3) across borders and (4) in the wider context (neighbours and networks)
– Inform the policy makers on the specific diversity of potentials and challenges
– Be precise on where within the strategy area what smart specialisation could be implemented most efficient as actions
– Propose a “balanced” strategy with mix of actions in different places that can support the policy momentum necessary
