- Contributes to European Commission priorities
Portfolio overview
The green, digital and demographic transitions are affecting the social and economic developments of European territories in a range of ways. In this context, policymakers must contend with new and larger geopolitical developments which will also have an impact.
This portfolio aims to deliver robust analysis to support informed decision-making for EU economic governance. This will be crucial for the design, evaluation and implementation of major funding initiatives under the new EU budget. This work integrates macro- and microeconomic models, along with territorial analysis to better support the economic, social and territorial policy agenda in the EU.
