Panorama Magazine | Number 57 (Summer 2016)

Pomorskie takes the smart route

Summary:

The main feature of the Summer 2016 edition of Panorama offers an in-depth look at one region, and this time it is the turn of Pomorskie in Poland. An interview with the region's marshal, project examples and factual background give an overview of how cohesion policy is helping this region meet its challenges.

The issue also looks forward to the European Week of Regions and Cities (the new name for OPEN DAYS), previewing the themes and events for the 2016 edition, and the research which will be showcased during the week's 'EWRC University' sessions.

In addition the issue looks at the work of the High Level Group on Simplification, the Interact programme, and the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region. The Projects section features contributions from Austria, Hungary, France and the United Kingdom, and a new, expanded projects feature goes more in depth on a project involving young people in the development of transport policy in Poland.
