Panorama Magazine | Number 50 (Winter 2014)

Toward innovation and green growth

Summary:

The Autumn edition of Panorama contains several features celebrating the 50th edition of the magazine. Primary among these is an interview with Commissioner Johannes Hahn in which he reviews the changes in cohesion policy during his term in office. An article on the recently published 6th Cohesion Report explores how cohesion policy is helping pull Europe out of the economic crisis and encourage innovative and green growth. The latest update on the adoption of Partnership Agreements focusses on Greece: their preparations for the new investment period are explained by a representative from the Greek Ministry of Development and Competitiveness.

Elsewhere the issue previews this year's OPEN DAYS event in Brussels; reviews progress on the EU's urban agenda; details the objectives of the European Social Fund; and profiles the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).

There is also a special 'Readers Contributions' section where various representatives share their thoughts on Panorama and how they would like to see it evolve. You will also find the usual selection of news items and featured projects from across the EU.
