Territorial Data Analysis and Modelling Newsletter

This is a summary of the TEDAM activities related to the use of regional EU data and to the use of the RHOMOLO model in the second half of 2022.

On the policy side, a contribution by the Regional Economic Monitoring (REMO) team was included in the ERA industrial technology roadmap for circular technologies and business models in the textile, construction and energy intensive industries published by the Directorate-General for Research & Innovation.

The pilot phase of the Territorial Economic Data viewer was officially launched in October 2022 and can be found here: the territorial data-monitoring tool on different Research and Innovation funds, and beyond, allows to compare the size of different EU funding instruments, to show their contribution to total R&D expenditures, and their sectorial concentration.

This Newsletter also lists a number of publications, including a Regional Studies article with a modelling ex-ante impact analysis of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). 

Finally, the TEDAM team participated in three international conferences sponsored by the JRC at the end of 2022.

The JRC sponsored the following two conferences:

1. AISRE XLIII Annual Scientific Conference: Cities and Regions in Transition (Politecnico di Milano, 5-7 September 2022)
2. XLVII International Conference on Regional Science: Challenges, Policies and Governance of the Territories in the Post-Covid Era (University of Granada, 19-21 October 2022)

Moreover, the TEDAM team organised two sessions at the European Week of Regions and Cities 2022 to present the Territorial Economic Data viewer (TEDv), and other Regional Economic Monitoring (REMO) activities on EU funds.

About €22.9 billion of the European Regional Development Fund in 2014-2020 (12% of the total) supported projects related to the development or adoption of circular economy technologies, and eco-friendly business models.
