Research

ITEM’s vision revolves around translating the scientific world into practice, work that is carried out around the core values of knowledge, connecting, and cooperation, which together represent ITEM’s DNA.

Multidisciplinary knowledge is the starting point, where expertise on European and Euroregional social and economic developments can improve the quality of life in the border region.

That improvement comes through connecting, when ITEM works with other social partners, also on the other side of the border, to set up substantive research and address the issue. From that connection comes cooperation, where a result is achieved jointly, while ensuring the independence of all parties involved in the process.

With this approach, ITEM aims to tackle the issues surrounding border regions, and generate real impact in society.

Cross-Border Impact Assessments

As one of ITEM's primary functions, these Cross-Border Impact Assessments aim to provide insight into the impact of new legislation and policies on border regions, as well as the effects of existing legislation and policies on border regions. With its Cross-Border Impact Assessments, ITEM provides a valuable source of information for policymakers at regional, national and European level when making decisions on border regions.
