Six months after its foundation, the first meeting of the High Level Working Group on the Future of Cohesion Policy took place, discussing the conclusions adopted by the European Parliament and the European Council on simplified access to the new cohesion policy funds 2028-2034 and on the overcoming of territorial disparities.
Just a few days after the announcement that all the Programmes co-funded by the European Funds 2021-27 have been approved by the Commission, the High Level Working Group assigned by Brussels to produce strategic recommendations on the future of Cohesion Policy in the next Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034 was launched in June 2022.
The first meeting of the High Level Working Group
The High-Level Group, chaired by Professor Andres Rodriguez-Pose of the London School of Economics, is composed of highly qualified specialists - academics, policymakers, socio-economic partners and representatives of civil society - selected on the basis of their extensive expertise and experience in Cohesion Policy.
