The winter 2015 edition of Panorama's lead article details Regional Policy's contribution to the EU's main priorities for 2014-2020. Infographics, project examples and an interview with Commissioner Corina Creţu explain how ESI funds help in a wide range of areas from jobs to research to migration.
In our series of interviews with regional authorities we speak to Jane Hutt, Wales' Finance and Government Business Minister, and Tomislav Donchev, Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister, about the contribution of EU funds to strengthening their economies. Elsewhere we review the winners of this year's RegioStars awards and the top three entries in our Europe In My Region photo competition, profile the work of the European Regions Research and Innovation Network (ERRIN), explain the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), and take a look at how EU funds are helping Europe respond to the migration crisis. Our In Your Own Words section features contributions from Poland, Denmark, Finland and the Czech Republic.
You will also find the usual selection of news items and featured projects from across the EU.
