As part of the seminar, Bernd Schuh and Roman Seidl facilitated handling the tool and gave tips and tricks for the moderation of TIA workshops to identify spatial impacts of EU directives and policies. Employees of different units of the Committee of the Regions and the European Commission learned about the benefits and limits of the methodology and the current tool and contributed valuable feed-back for further improvements.
