Not surprising neither uplifting to see the term #cohesionpolicy for a long time appearing on German TV News yesterday. Using cohesion funds to finance EU defence is a dangerous and ‘slippery slope’ for Europe.

So, do not count on anything, both EU funding systems and priorities will change. My key takeaway from our event on the urban dimension in the future #EUcohesionpolicy. A great turn out highlights the commitment to making the urban dimension and policy agenda for #cities - work despite all changes.

As discussions on the future of #CohesionPolicy continue, the idea of focusing on 27 national plans has emerged. In their latest blog post, the #TerritorialThinkers explore the potential benefits of this idea and argue for strong territorial dimension:

27 national plans: include the territorial reality!
The proposal for 27 national plans offers opportunities to streamline EU policies and improve their coherence across sectors, but it needs a strong territorial dimension.
