Congratulations to all winners of the New European Bauhaus #NEB 2024 awards!

Very impressed with quality of competing projects from all over 🇪🇺 &, for 1st time, #Ukraine !

Winning or not, what matters is that you are part of a community building solutions for a better world!
🧵

It is an honour to welcome #Ukraine at the #NewEuropeanBauhaus 2024 prizes.

While the war is raging, Ukrainians keep showing incredible resilience, strength & willingness to build back their country. What an inspiration!

It is 🇪🇺 only place-based policy, empowering communities & making positive change in EU

“Non-Cohesion” has a cost: disparities create discontent, and discontented people express it at the ballot box

'Evaluation is key: result-based programmes can tell with KPIs how #EUFunds perform. National legislations have different impacts at regional level.

Impact analysis is necessary to shape new tools and answer to regions’ needs.'

#cohesion forum is about facts&figures, but also about people. Today we had a nice coffee #debate w.Andrés Rodríguez-Pose Krista Taipale Hämeen liitto Turku EU Office #Saara and West Finland EU #Mikko
