Target Group
Participants of previous editions of CBA seminars in order to extend and improve their practical knowledge about CBA, but also experienced beneficiaries eligible under Structural Funds, Cohesion Fund and IPA, managing authorities, intermediate bodies.
Description
The goal of this intensive two-day seminar/workshop is to explain in a very practical, detailed and comprehensive way how to perform financial, economic and risk analysis of projects eligible under EU Funds in different sectors, with special focus on typical benefits and the most used techniques to evaluate them. There will be practical workshops allowing participants to practice in small groups the following issues: how to review the quality of CBA in different sectors and how to report their results, how to adjust the project to improve the CBA quality in order to make it desirable for EU co-financing.
Learning methodology
Traditional training methods – used only during the first day of the seminar (lectures and presentations, including concrete examples and case studies) will be combined with very intensive practical workshops on the second day. Participants will work in small working groups on concrete case studies (each group will review different case study: railway, motorway, solid waste, waste water, urban regeneration and R&D) with direct involvement of CBA experts. There will be discussions during and after each practical component.
Objectives
By the end of the seminar, participants will extend and improve their practical knowledge gained during previous seminars with regard to the elaboration and assessment of CBA prepared for EU funding investment projects eligible under EU Funds.
