The Common Provision Regulation (CPR - Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 for 2014-2020 and Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 for 2021-2027 period) is the reference legislation for the EU Cohesion policy. Specific communication and transparency provisions require Member States and Managing Authorities to publish the lists of operations and update them every six months (requirement for the 2014-2020 programming period).
These lists of operations are the primary data sources for Kohesio.
Kohesio standardises and aggregates the data from these lists and makes them publicly available.
It is the responsibility of the Member States and Managing Authorities to ensure that the data is produced and updated in accordance with the relevant regulations.
The European Commission cannot accept any liability for the accuracy of content from the list of operations in Kohesio.

For the 2014-2020 programming period, In line with Annex XII of the Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, the lists of operations must contain the following information for each operation:
For the 2021-2027 programming period, in line with Article 49(3) of the Regulation (EU) No 2021/1060, the mandatory fields for each operation must contain:
According to the specific legal provisions, Managing Authorities are requested to publish an updated version of their lists of operations at least every six months for the 2014-2020 programming period, and at least every four months for the 2021-2027 programming period.
We strive to provide the most updated available information on Kohesio. However processing a large amount of data from multiple sources inevitably entails a delay after their publication by the Managing authorities. The most recent data sources remain the original lists shared on the programme websites and/or national web portals.
Kohesio is available in the 24 EU official languages
We use eTranslation, the machine translation tool designed by the European Commission, to translate automatically into English the operation / project titles and descriptions in Kohesio.
While we strive to offer the best accuracy, translations of certain projects may be imprecise. You are encouraged to report these cases and join us in improving the overall quality of the Kohesio knowledge base by sending details to the Kohesio Team.
Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) are computed from the address or postal code thanks to Nominatim (geocoding).
Beneficiaries are linked to their Wikidata equivalents (whenever they exist) based on a machine learning algorithm. Accuracy is above 90% but linking errors remain possible. We encourage you to report them to us.

Additionally, Cohesion Data provides datasets at programme level. It is an open data platform providing data on financing and achievements of EU funds under shared management for both programming periods 2014-2020 and 2021-2027. The platform visualises the latest data available at the level of Countries, Funds, Themes and Programmes.
Kohesio collects and standardizes – to the extent possible – hundreds of different publicly available lists of operations published on the web by the Managing Authorities. Such data are not reported to the Commission. Their formats, data structures, and the granularity of the information they contain vary significantly across such documents.
Taking into consideration the innovative collection methods and the nature of the data (i.e. lists of operations for communication and transparency), it is important to consider a number of caveats and limitations when using Kohesio data:
