#Cohesionconf2025

Conference on the impact and challenges of cohesion policy will be one of the most important events in Poland next year. During 2-day conference following topics will be discussed: 

• effects of Cohesion Policy to date, including in specific sectors such as mobility, climate neutrality, social, economic and digital  transition, and the challenges ahead,
• territorial approach in development policies in the context of future challenges and global trends, including territorial dimension of cohesion policy,
• implementation system of Cohesion Policy,
• non-tangible benefits of Cohesion Policy.

We want to give a strong message on the key role of the Cohesion Policy in the development of the European Union countries. We will show that cohesion policy works, brings tangible positive results and has effective implementation system. We hope that conclusions and recommendation developed during the conference will be taken into consideration by the European Commission while preparing new draft regulations for the next perspective of the cohesion policy.
