Policy alignments to maximize societal impacts of research at local level in Widening countries and Outermost regions: Which recommendations for the next cohesion policy?

The widerAdvance Facility (Horizon Europe, WIDERA) supports research organisations in Widening countries and Outermost Regions in disseminating and exploiting their research results. After eighteen months of service delivery, the Facility has accumulated concrete evidence on what works — and what structural barriers persist.

This half-day policy workshop is organised by Ruizia, Xienza Malta, and IPPT PAN with the support of experts and KV practitionners such as Interreg Europe, JRC, DG RTD, ERRIN, and is hosted at the NCBR Brussels Office. This event aims to translate that evidence into forward-looking policy input for the next cohesion policy programming period.
