What will be the place of Cohesion and Cohesion Policy in the next Multiannual Financial Framework? How can more strategic coherence across EU policies be achieved? Can the place-based approach of Cohesion Policy be retained and strengthened? What lessons from the RRF could improve the implementation of Cohesion Policy? Our annual #EoRPA review of the state-of-play of Cohesion Policy has just been published here https://bit.ly/3OykkHz The paper reviews the current state of implementation of both Cohesion Policy and RRF implementation in 2021-27 and charts the evolving political and policy debates on MFF reform and the position of Cohesion Policy, concluding with a discussion of the key challenges and questions facing the EU's future policy approach to Cohesion.
