Session summary
Data hub for EU border regions will support decision makers in addressing these challenges, providing the necessary knowledge on domains such as transport, public services, healthcare, cross-border governance, and more. The lauch of the Data hub is expected in December 2025.
Harmonised geospatial data on cross-border interactions and robust socioeconomic indicators will be displayed on the platform to boost the untapped socioeconomic potential of these territories.
The Data hub is an initiative of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and Joint Research Centre (JRC) in the context of the project 'data and Analyses for CROSS-border regions' (ACROSS).
ESPON actively promotes the collecting of EU-wide data in order to show existing cross-border interactions across EU borders, such as cross-border public services, as well as their potential, such as the real estate market, housing market, or service accessibility.
Greater Copenhagen emphasised the importance of having harmonised labour market statistics in order to better comprehend the cross-border integration of Malmo and Copenhagen and their respective regions.
