Dear @Juncker_JC @TimmermansEU @GOettingerEU, our @EU_H2020 project on the impact of #CohesionPolicy on Europeran identification comes to an end. You may find these concrete recommendations useful on these important days for the future of the EU budget. cc @CorinaCretuEU

📝First policy recommendations!
Regions wants to engage more directly with the EU and to be more flexible in adapting the policy to local context and unforeseen events. Enhance cooperation between technical bodies and policymakers. Use of evidence based strategy #CohesionPolicy

[Matteo Salvai @saved_mat]

Some thoughts for @PerceiveProject conference on communicating #CohesionPolicy : 1) Prioritize communication within organizations 2) Professionalize the communication officers 3) Communicate the brand EU, not only specific policy 4) Work on the language: speak people's language

[Perceive @PerceiveProject]

In our research, we took into account the citizens' point of view: Have you ever heard about #CohesionPolicy, Regional Policy or Structural Funds? Have you ever heard about any EU funded project? Where? Have you benefited from it in your daily life? ⬇️

Also session on communication and opp. to present @cohesify findings: #cohesionpolicy influences how citizens perceive the EU, but spending needs to be more regionally & local differentiated – and seen by citizens to address THEIR perceptions of regional and local needs. (2/2)

[John Bachtler @JohnBachtler]

Similar story from the @EU_H2020 @cohesify project which found evidence of effective communication on #ESIF by Polish regions and high awareness of benefits. However, also concern among people that EU funding is not benefiting all regions and social groups https://t.co/a6YvDGJphx

[John Bachtler @JohnBachtler]

Interesting trends. Further insight from @EU_H2020 @cohesify: social media content on FB & Twitter is largely neutral, mostly official & factual information. Need for more emotive and topical social media activity in order to engage & connect with citizens https://t.co/ZmH8SJBZ54

Excellent, thought-provoking article on implications of place-based strategies for regional industrial policy. Discusses vehicles for improving international structural competitiveness, regional positioning for value capture and (crucially) for sustaining competitive advantage. https://t.co/0Y5b8F2agI

"Research suggests that policymakers often respond to narratives and case studies which show how policies affect individuals’ everyday lives." https://t.co/VcdFVTqSux

[John Bachtler @JohnBachtler]

#CohesionPolicy spending influences how citizens perceive the EU & European integration. It promotes regional & local identification with the EU, but only if properly communicated. More results of @cohesify @EU_H2020 in new issue of @EU_Regional Panorama https://t.co/5SZsJGXeBA
