This three-day highly practical seminar will cover all essential aspects of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in 2014-2020, in line with the European Commission GUIDE on CBA published in December 2014. It will be presented by representatives of the European Commission and expert from JASPERS - the lead author of the CBA Guide.
It explains why Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) continues to be one of the most important tools in the programming period 2014- 2020, not only for beneficiaries of EU funds, but also for national and regional administrations (managing authorities and intermediate bodies of EU co-financed programmes) in their decision-making process regarding investment projects. It gives also reply to the question how to prepare the best CBA, how to assess CBA and how European Court of Auditors audits CBA.
The seminar will also cover the closure of major projects and the so-called ‘phased projects’, for which a first stage is financed from 2007-2013, and the second stage to be financed in 2014-2020. Moreover, this seminar looks at how those major projects could benefit from a simplified approval procedure.
