Search blog posts by topics
To allow you to easier navigate among past blog posts, we have grouped them under five topics:
Cohesion (policy) (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre): Cohesion is important to European integration, but what do we actually mean by cohesion? And, what about the future of cohesion policy?
Resilience & transition (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre): Europe faces green, digital and just transitions, and has to become more resilient. What does this mean for its places and people?
Scenarios & visions (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre): Europe needs imaginaries of possible and desirable futures. What futures can we picture, and what futures do we want for which places?
Territories (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre): Europe is characterised by an enormous territorial diversity. How does this diversity look like and what does it mean for the future?
Trends (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre): Trends shape the future of territories and of cohesion. What trends are most important how do the affect different types of places?
In the pipeline
In 2023 we will keep on feeding the blog with reflections about the future, Europe, spaces, places and people. In the pipeline are among others blog posts on territorial cohesion & performance-based financing, mega-trends affecting territorial development, and particularities of lake regions.
Stay tuned. (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Season's Greetings and a 2023 with abundant vitality and exciting opportunities.
