European Commission DG REGIO opens this public consultation to collect stakeholders’ views on the investments supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) in the period 2014-2020 and to collect further evidence for their evaluation.
The consultation targets the main stakeholders directly involved during the 2014-2020 programming period, such as stakeholders involved in the management of operational programmes, stakeholders involved in the delivery of ERDF and CF operations as project promoters or beneficiaries, direct beneficiaries of the ERDF and CF support, monitoring, control and evaluation bodies, and the public.
The objective of the consultation process is to provide the main stakeholders with an opportunity to express their views on and experience of the investments evaluated and to encourage them to contribute to the data-gathering channels that will be put in place during the evaluation, such as surveys, expert fora, etc.
Seminars with key experts in the various sectoral domains covered by the work packages will also contribute to the validation of the evaluation findings.
