The project examines the extent to which the European Union’s 2021–2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) has supported eco-social policies. The focus is on five major funding instruments –the Just Transition Fund (JTF), the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund – and two case studies (Bulgaria and Italy). On the basis of this analysis, we will propose concrete policy recommendations on how to strengthen the socio-ecological dimension of the post-2027 MFF.
The research project relies on the review of relevant scientific literature, documentary analysis, and the findings from three semi-structured interviews to key informants.
