In EU’s #cohesion policy, financial instruments are meant to allow for repeated use of #EUfunds.

❓ Are financial instruments used at their full potential? 🤔

📅 Stay tuned and find out the answer on 3 December at 17h00 CET.

Small projects, big choices. Small-scale projects are meant to bring territorial cooperation closer to citizens. My latest blog post takes a closer look 👉 https://steady.page/en/spatialforesight/posts/d36c4de8-7641-44bb-989e-7503e343648f
It explores how Small-Scale Projects (SSPs) and Small Project Funds (SPFs) can move from being policy ornaments to becoming drivers of inclusion, trust and cross-border engagement.
As we look toward the next #Interreg programming period, the post reflects on seven key lessons — from valuing intermediaries and linking to functional areas, to accepting the real cost of inclusion.

📅 Mark your calendars: On 9 October, at 00:01 CEST, the @EUauditors will publish its Annual Report on the #EUfinances for 2024, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges in the management of #EUfunds.

We're heading to #SEMANTiCS2025 in just one week! Catch us in Vienna with two presentations on Jelly (our fast and convenient serialization format), one made jointly with @knowledgepixels, where we show how Jelly removes RDF communication bottlenecks – making nanopublication exchange faster, lighter & more resilient.

Our work was financed from the #EUFunds.

Better compression, faster pipelines! We’ve just benchmarked Jelly-Patch – a high-performance, compressed binary format for changes in #RDF knowledge graphs.
For an #IoT weather stream, Jelly-Patch shrank the data 5.4× beyond an already compressed Jelly-RDF baseline, bringing the compression ratio to 52x as compared to N-Triples. Check it out in our preprint!

The EU post-2027 budget proposes a radical shift: National and Regional Partnership (NRP) Plans. The idea: strategic integration & simplified funding. At what cost? What is needed to make them work for cohesion? https://steady.page/en/spatialforesight/posts/8c8a7c55-9a77-4a8e-aff7-a77fbd4323d4

The blog post explores whether NRP Plans will strengthen cohesion or centralise control, and what’s needed to ensure they work for territories, not just sectors.

We ask:
🔹 Will regions have a real say?
🔹 Can cross-sector and cross-border coordination be achieved?
🔹 Is the long-term territorial vision strong enough to guide reforms?

🎉 Marking a milestone: #50years of the European Court of Auditors!

📝 In yestersday’s workshop, five groups – with participants from the #health sector, #cybersecurity, and at least two #EU Member States – worked through four key steps of the #DigitalEurope proposal process. Results: First ideas for cross-border proposals and new contacts! Thank you to everyone for your active participation. We are looking forward to see, who will apply for the #EUFunds 🚀
