Seminar on blending ESIF grants and PPPs

The JASPERS Networking Platform was created to complement JASPERS project advisory operations by implementing knowledge sharing and capacity building activities, as well as fostering dissemination of good practices and exchange of experiences among all EU member states, pre-accession countries and other JASPERS Stakeholders.

The JASPERS Networking Platform is open to relevant authorities from all EU Member States (EU 28), as well as pre-accession Countries.

This seminar provided an introduction to Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) concepts and rationale, and then focused on the implications and possibilities afforded by the new Regulations for blending European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) with other public funding and private financing in a PPP structure.

It also provided the opportunity to present and discuss a guidance document on blending ESIF grants with PPPs in the 2014-2020 programming period, recently published by EPEC (available here ).

The seminar was targeted to representatives from managing authorities, line ministries and beneficiaries that are or will be responsible for the preparation of projects and programmes in the 2014-2020 programming period.

The seminar was organised by the JASPERS Networking and Competence Centre in close cooperation with DG REGIO and EPEC, whose representatives actively participated in the event and planned Q&A sessions.
