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?
