Cohesion policy is one of Europe's most important strategies. For Slovakia, this policy is even more important as the resources from the European Structural and Investment Funds represent the major part of public investment. In addition to funds that are managed in the form of shared management directly in Slovakia, we also have access to Community instruments resources, which are, however, used at a very low rate. The panel will be dedicated to the new programming period strategy. Which way Slovakia has to take to succeed? Will the period really start in 2021? How is the preparation of the new partnership agreement going? What additional resources will Slovakia benefit from? What will be the structure of the operational programs? And will Slovakia have resources for further development of state IT? How can we prepare for more efficient drawing?
