Higher Education for Smart Specialisation (HESS) – Expert for Human Capital in ESIF in Selected EU Regions Under the 2014-2020
Programming Period
Completed research studies
Commissioned by: European Commission
Study by: Austrian Institute of Economic Research
Closed: 2022
In the 2021-2027 programming period there is an enhanced focus on the development of human capital as part of the smart specialisation
process and under ESIF funding. As background to a future analysis on the 2021-2027 programming period, an understanding of
funding allocations for skills development related to territorial smart specialisation domains in the previous 2014-2020 programming
period is needed. In a recent project, the JRC-WIFO database was used to identify ERDF-funded projects that are relevant for
HESS. Building on this, the aim of this project is to advance this analysis to ESF-funded projects.
