Almost 5 years (!) after the completion of the PERCEIVE research project (https://lnkd.in/dJmz6d-9), something STILL goes terribly wrong with the structural funds’ absorption in the EU... 🤔 Data from Brussels highlight that the poor administrative capacity of national and/or regional authorities leads to record-low absorption rates during the 2021-2027 period (e.g., only 0.9% of the total funds allocated to Italy till April 2024). 📉 It seems more imperative than ever that nations and regions in the EU ‘go the extra mile’ if they really aim to effectively support the sustainable development and social cohesion of the European territories. 🇪🇺 Scientific food for thought: 1. https://lnkd.in/dbcd4-FW 2. https://lnkd.in/dt6Rpix4 3. https://lnkd.in/dKrNVTsP #structuralfunds #cohesionpolicy #absorptionrate #research #UNIBO
