Policy makers, representatives of managing authorities, support service organisations, agencies, applied research associations, NGOs, and others who are actively engaged in tackling social progress issues, are invited to complete the EU-SPI survey. To start the EU-SPI survey, click START

It will take about 10 to 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The survey will be open until 6 May.

If you have questions about the survey please contact Frederic Maier (frederic.maier@technopolis-group.com)

The main objective of the survey is to gather the views of these stakeholders on the EU regional Social Progress Index.

Background: The EU-SPI survey is conducted in the context of the project “Measuring what matters to EU Citizens: Social progress in the European Regions”. This, by the European Commission (DG REGIO) launched multi-region pilot project aims to encourage regions to empirically test how the EU regional Social Progress Index (EU-SPI) could be used to improve policy-making, in particular for policies supported by cohesion policy and explore avenues for the improvement of the index. The EU-SPI aims to measure social progress for each region as a supplement to traditional measures of economic progress. Measuring social progress is valuable for the potential optimisation and readjustment of development strategies of EU regions.

This project is implemented by a consortium led by Intrasoft International together with Technopolis Group, Orkestra, ZSI, Hetfa and the Kapodistrian University of Athens. A letter of support of the European Commission is available here.
