1. Plenary session 5: The usefulness of the ESPON Scientific Platform for policy makers European Territorial Monitoring System Oriol Biosca, MCRIT SL (obiosca@mcrit.com) ESPON Open Seminar 2014 “Opportunities and threats for territorial cohesion: Blue Growth and Urban Poverty”

2. To provide “a continuous monitoring of territorial trends and structures, so to provide policy relevant information to target groups, for specific type of territories, metropolitan regions, cities and towns, in relation to the policy aims and priorities of the Europe 2020 Strategy, EU Cohesion Policy and the TA 2020”. Aim of the European Territorial Monitoring System

3. Partners behind the development of the ETMS MCRIT, Barcelona UAB. Autonomous University of Barcelona UNIGE. University of Geneva Nordregio, Stockholm GISAT, Prague

4. ETMS Web Interface

5. Main Products: State of Territory & Facts&Figures periodic reports

6. Main Service: Interactive data analysis tool by territorial specificities

8. ETMS Indicators Analysis of current policy debates / issues Economy Environment Human capital Social Inclusion Accessibility Around 30 indicators 5 Area Topics 2000-2012 time series Including several EU2020 headline indictors

9. Territories with specificities Cities Transnational Cooperation Areas Analysis of current policy debates / issues Maps by types of territory ETMS Indicators ETMS allows mapping indicators filtering by different territorial typologies and structures Regional typologies (based on NUTS)

10. Selected examples of maps produced with the EMTS

11. DG Regio Urban Rural typology: urban – intermediate - rural 1. Maps based on NUTS data by regional typologies eg Birth rate (children per 1000 inhabitants) for “Rural Regions”

12. ESF/ERDF 2014-2020: less developed – transition - more developed 1. Maps based on NUTS data by regional typologies Eg. Birth rate (children per 1000 inhabitants) for “Less Developed Regions”

13. EUROSTAT Metropolitan Typology: Capitals - 2nTier – Small Metros 1. Maps based on NUTS data by regional typologies Eg Birth rate (children per 1000 inhabitants) for “Capital Cities”

14. Mountain ranges as defined in ESPON GEOSPECS 2. Maps for territories with regional specificities (based on LAU) e.g. Old age dependency ratio (% population > 64 / % population 16-64)

15. Islands as defined in ESPON GEOSPECS e.g. Old age dependency ratio (% population > 64 / % population 16-64) 2. Maps for territories with regional specificities (based on LAU)

16. e.g. Employment rate (%employed / population 20-64) 3. Maps based on data at City level Large Urban Zones - LUZ

17. INTERREG Cooperation Areas 20062012 4. Maps by Areas of Regional Cooperation Eg Migrations (persons per year) in the Mediterranean and the Northern Peripheries

18. Analysis of current policy debates / issues Analyses Regional typologies (based on NUTS) Territories with specificities Cities Transnational Cooperation Areas ETMS Indicators Maps by types of territory

19. Two examples of different territorial resolution in ET 1. Benchmark a region against others in the same typology e.g. Old age dependency ratio for Mountain Massifs in Europe

20. Two examples of different territorial resolution in ET 1. Benchmark a region against others in the same typology e.g. Old age dependency ratio for Mountain Massifs in Europe

21. 2. Compare selected regions for a given indicator e.g. discontinuities on Birth Rate in the Frenco-Italian border

22. 2. Compare selected regions for a given indicator e.g. discontinuities on Birth Rate in the Frenco-Italian border

23. Italian regionsFrench regions 2. Compare selected regions for a given indicator e.g. discontinuities on Birth Rate in the Franco-Italian border

24. 3. To compare 2 indicators on a scatter chart e.g. Birth Rate vs Old-Age dependency ratio

25. Italian regionsFrench regions 3. To compare 2 indicators on a scatter chart e.g. Birth Rate vs ODR in the Frenco-Italian border

26. 4. Time series of indicators by territorial typologies e.g. GDP per capita in different urban/rural areas in Europe
