The project will carry out horizontal evaluations for the implementation of cohesion policy. Actions for the development of culture and evaluation potential (e.g. evaluation academy, textbooks, publications, conferences and activities aimed at coordinating and ensuring the smooth functioning of the evaluation system of cohesion policy) will be implemented. Particular emphasis during the implementation of the project will be on adapting the evaluation system to the requirements of the General Regulation 1303/2013, the use of modern evaluation techniques (e.g. counter-evaluation) and the development of a modern system of recommendation management.
