The results of the study will play a crucial role in further shaping the implementation of the ESF+ in the 2021-2027 and post-2027 programming periods.
During the focus group participants had the opportunity to review the study’s preliminary findings, conclusions and key learning points and discuss them with colleagues from other Member States, the European Commission and the study team.
