Information measures for the EU Cohesion policy for 2024

For the general public: the objective is to raise public awareness of the results of Cohesion policy and their impact on citizens' lives to Europeans who are unaware of the EU and of the EU action in their region. Information should focus on developing greater understanding of the contribution of Cohesion policy to boosting jobs and growth in Europe and reducing disparities among Member States and regions.

For stakeholders: the objective is to engage with stakeholders (including national, regional and local authorities, beneficiaries, businesses, academia) to further communicate the impact of Cohesion policy on their regions and to feed into the discussion on the future of Cohesion policy and, more broadly, the future of Europe.

Planned actions and their expected reach and impact should be described and quantified in the relevant section of the application form. This will then be compared to the results actually achieved as reported in the continuous reporting deliverables submitted via the portal, as well as the full final report at the end of the campaign.

The main aim of the call is to provide support for the production and dissemination of information and content linked to EU Cohesion policy, including inter alia the Just Transition Fund, or relevant support from the Technical Support Instrument.

The proposals should provide coherent, objective and comprehensive information, in order to give an accurate overall picture of the EU Cohesion policy. The proposals should illustrate and assess the role of Cohesion policy in delivering the EU’s political priorities, such us the transition to a greener economy, development of strategic technologies, housing or the demographic transition, and in addressing current and future challenges for the EU, its Member States, its regions and the local level.

The geographical scope of this call is focussed on EU Member States, including overseas countries and territories (OCTs).

The information measures should include one or several activities such as:

• production and distribution of print, multimedia or audiovisual material
• web and social media outreach activities
• media events
• conferences, seminars, workshops.
