KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR RECENT EVENT ON THE NEW MFF AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Last week, EURASHE and partners Friends of Smart Specialisation and the Centre for European Policy Studies co-organised a discussion on the new MFF and its ability to respond to local challenges.
In his keynote speech, Prof. Andrés Rodríguez-Pose (London School of Economics) warned that a top-down industrial policy combined with a national approach to cohesion policy will lead to geographical concentration of investment, while increasing polarisation and euroscepticism.
