2. What themes do the ERDF, ESF and Cohesion Fund really support with = EUR 350 bn ?

3. Existing public detail is rather generic …

4. The categorisation datasets
Covering detailed thematic information
Provided by 350+ Programmes
In Total cost or Estimated EU budget
for selected projects and expenditure
Using 123 "intervention field" codes
(and other dimensions urban/rural, grants/loans, economic sectors, NUTS codes)
Several related Open datasets (with metadata files)
Planned : DATASET LINK EC Joint Research Council (JRC) example for "planned":
Categorisation lookup: DATASET LINK
**NEW** Categorisation Planned vs Implemented: DATASET LINK

5. Why is this data important?
The scale of the EU and national investment budgets
The wealth of information on themes … social, energy, environment, transport, innovation themes … all covered
The level of detail on planned and executed investments
What you think the dataset could still reveal, e.g. if combined with other data or new technologies?
Compare "progress" across themes, or programmes
Combine with categorisation lookup to show cross cutting themes (progress in climate tracking, SME support, etc)

6. How is the data generated?
350+ National and Regional EU funded programmes provide planned amounts;
annually they report in detail on selected projects and spending by those projects
Plans may change …. as can implementation
What could be improved in the dataset and what are its limitations?
The data is complex => suggests we need a powerful / intuitive filtering tool (datasets are API enabled)
Graphic comparisons across themes, programmes (years) could convey information more powerfully

7. Examples from Excel© ….

8. Potential audience … a public transparency resource for
1000's National and regional authorities
EU policy makers (Commission, EP, ..)
NGO's, Stakeholders
researchers, students, consultants
and citizens
