ENI-SEIS II South Regional Workshop on Indicators, 17-18 May 2017

The first Regional Workshop on indicators and assessment under the ENI-SEIS II South Support Mechanism Project will take place on 17-18 May 2017 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This Support Mechanism managed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) focuses on the implementation of the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) principles and practices in the ENP South region (ENI SEIS II South). Participants will review the proposal for a core set of Mediterranean indicators prepared by the ad hoc Working Group on indicators set-up after the joint meeting of ENI SEIS II South Steering Committee and the Horizon 2020 Review and Monitoring Group held in Athens in December 2016. This workshop will address the needed refinement of the H2020 review mechanism to take into account other assessment processes and further develop the current H2020 set of indicators to reflect the renewed scope of the H2020 priorities applicable to all Mediterranean countries, in coherence with EEA Core Set of Indicators and MEDPOL/NAPs indicators. A second workshop – planned to take place mid-September 2017 will look more into details of the indicators methodological aspects (factsheets) and to the draft outline of the H2020 assessment.
