The project will carry out horizontal evaluations for the implementation of cohesion policy. Actions to develop culture and evaluation capacity (e.g. workshops, publications, conferences and actions to coordinate and ensure the smooth functioning of the evaluation system of cohesion policy) will be implemented. During the implementation of the project, particular emphasis will be placed on the development of research methodologies and on the use of their results in the implementation cycle of public intervention. The project may also include actions to adequately prepare the implementation of the next Cohesion Policy perspective
