New Horizons – EC Best Practice Conference on Structural Funds – Graz, 15-16 November 2006 15-11-2006 Introduction New Horizons focuses particularly on the “Knowledge Society”, a theme
initially highlighted at the Gothenburg Conference held in November 2005.
Capitalising on successive structural fund programmes, this year’s conference
aims to build on the knowledge and experience gained to develop a stronger
future project generation.
Description
The conference seeks to highlight best practice methods that have resulted in
creating and implementing projects that trigger change, stimulate innovation and
that pave the way to modern, future oriented regional development and innovation
strategies. New Horizons aims at promoting exchange of experience and
dissemination of best practice between authorities involved in the
implementation on Structural Funds Programmes in Europe. It contributes to
improving quality of implementation of Structural Funds on the basis of project
presentations and visits.
The aim of the structural funds is to promote cohesion, development,
integration; to create a better economic and social balance as well as stimulate
innovation and change within and between Member States. Due to their broad
scope, structural funds support a wide array of projects across regions. They
offer a huge potential for creative and innovative development, whilst also
investing in more classic projects like large infrastructure projects, training
etc.
