The S3 Partners SF
functional identity
The partnership is made of 9 countries, and 14 partners (4 of which
new Member States). In 9 cases, the participating institutions are
public authorities, part of regional governments. In 5 cases, being
development agencies at regional level , they act as intermediate
bodies.
As far as regional governments are concerned they act as either
Managing Authorities/Intermediate bodies of SPD (Spain, Latium, Emilia
Romagna) of objective 2 programmes, or as Managing Authority of
objective 1 operational programmes ( Western Greece, South Yorkshire,
Campania). As far as Public Equivalent Bodies are concerned they either
act as Intermediate Body (Saxony-Anhalt) or will be in charge of objective
1 operational programmes as Intermediate bodies (Ostrava, Kosice, North
Great Plain, Ignalina).
S3 Objectives
• networking experiences/best practices on regional
development programmes in view of the potential
application in the new programming period of
Structural Funds and of the EU enlargement,
• networking people in order to strengthen and
exchange know-how and skills,
• networking results in order to disseminate information
EU-wide and in new member states regional
institutions,'
• making the network a reliable counterpart for EU
institutions in the process of revision of Structural
Funds policies
S3 Methodology
The networking structure will facilitate the discussion
and comparison among EU regions, the following main
aspects will be promoted:
• identification of functioning modalities as far as
programming, managing, monitoring and evaluating,
• assessment of the added value of experienced
instruments in terms of their capacity to achieve
results,
• evaluation of possible difficulties in combining
innovative instrument with EU regulations.
WP1
Management & Co-ordination
Emilia- Romagna Region
• Strategic Focus:
This component aims at guaranteeing an effective
management and co-ordination of activities that will be
developed throughout the project. The goal is to adopt
a common working methodology that will facilitate the
work of the 14 members of our network and guarantee
that all rules have been respected.
• expected out puts:
Three progress reports and one final report One kick-off
meeting and one final meeting Four meetings of TAC
and SC
WP2
Networking experiences:
analysis and share of best practices.
Centre for Innovation and Business
Development – CIDEM (SP)
• Strategic Focus:
This component focuses on the analysis, discussion
and sharing of best practices in order to identify
innovative tools of programming, managing and
monitoring structural funds programmes. Managing
Authorities will be grouped in 3 transnational thematic
working groups and will share and discuss successful experiences
• expected out puts:
papers, reports and recommendations on the experiences
analysed, set up of Thematic Working Groups
WP3
Networking people: hands-on
experience of best practices.
South Yorkshire (UK)
• Strategic Focus:
Activities aim at making people of different EU regions
co-operate with each other through an exchange of
staff. Staff with relevant experience on SF will
contribute by sharing it with colleagues from other
regions. A one-week study will allow staff from
interested regions and colleagues of hosting regions to work
closely together.
• expected out puts:
exchange of staff and study visits, in-house training seminars,
meetings for the dissemination of the achieved results;
WP4
Networking results:
dissemination and information activities.
Western Greece Region
• Strategic Focus:
This component focuses on networking the results. The project will
focus on organising events and workshops in order to share and
disseminate the results of the project EU wide. In this way, the
added value of the individual Structural Funds interventions in the
different regions can be expanded throughout Europe.
• expected out puts:
editorial and graphic line (web-site, newsletters, etc.), meeting at
regional and national level and a final meeting at European level,
contacts and meetings with existing similar networks and with EU
institutions.
Thematic
Working Groups (TWG)
•
TWG PARTNERSHIP will deal with experiences, referring to the
application of the principle of partnership (art. 8 EC Reg 1260/99),
thus the capacity to involve local and public competent
authorities, economic and social partners and any other relevant
competent bodies in the preparation, financing, monitoring and
evaluation of the Programmes
•
TWG ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT will deal with
experiences promoting innovative tools adopted in the
implementation of SF programmes as far as the methodologies
adopted and the systems developed.
•
TWG INFORMATION will deal with experiences defining innovative
tools and methodologies for accomplishing the requirements of
art. 46 of EC Reg. 1260/99 in disseminating information about SF
programmes and operations to the potential final beneficiaries
and to the general public.
Main objective of the
thematic working groups
• to select, according to a set of commonly shared criteria,
the experiences to be discussed - to analyse the
experiences according to a methodology focusing on
operational modalities, their added value in terms of
capacity to achieve results and potential difficulties faced in
strictly following the EC related regulations.
• to disseminate the results of the analysis firstly at network
level, then to a wider audience through meetings and
events
Management
Structure
Two main structures have been foreseen to be:
• the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and
• the Steering Group (SG);
a Technical secretariat (TS) supporting both
structures
Technical Advisory
Committee
The TAC is made up of a Project Co-ordinator (PC), a Financial
Co-ordinator (FC) and Component Co-ordinators (CC). The TAC is
the structure dealing with the overall coordination of technical and
financial project activities.
The TAC will ensure:
- co-ordination of activities of different components,
- an information flow to the partners, to the SG and to the EC
- the fulfilment of the regular technical and financial reports
addressed both to the EC (progress and final) and to the SG
- the implementation of strategic decisions carried out by the SG.
- effective implementation of components through a qualitative and
quantitative evaluation of projects' activities and their
effectiveness according to project objectives.
Steering Committee
• The SG is the strategic structure of the project. It is
led by the Contract Manager (CM) and made of
representative of each project partner. Main task of
the SG is the evaluation of the effectiveness of the
project activity according to the information provided
by the TAC (reports and requested information) and
the evaluation and revision of strategic priorities.. In
order to satisfy specific items, it will be allowed for
external experts or other project structures to be
involved in SG meetings.
