The panel discussion concentrated on the future challenges of INTERREG programs. Erich Dallhammer pointed out that the justification of spending European money becomes more and more a political issue. Transnational INTERREG programs are facing the challenge that there are no sufficient European wide available indicators for measuring cooperation. Currently OIR is leading a project team that is developing new indicators that help to evaluate cooperation in the ESPON project “Territorial Evidence Support of European Territorial Cooperation Programmes”.
