2014-2020 Common Strategic Framework road shows
Following the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) led consultation earlier this year, a series of road shows is to be held around the country in November/December 2012 to obtain the views of local stakeholders.
The road shows will set out the latest government thinking on what the structural funds (including ESF) will aim to achieve in support of sustainable growth and jobs in 2014-2020 and outline options for how they could be delivered. Led by BIS, these events will help inform the process of negotiations for the new round of structural funds in 2014-2020.
The invited audiences will reflect those groups with an interest in the delivery of European Structural Funds. They will include those with a geographic (urban, rural and coastal) interest and those with a social, economic, skills, employment or environmental focus.
