The PERCEIVE Simulation Lab is a computer model developed in the context of the PERCEIVE project.
The purpose of this interface is to allow policy-makers, stakeholders and other users to investigate the dynamics of the European Cohesion Policy (CP) system and the major parameters that affect it. The model aims at portraying the manner in which the CP funds are distributed among regions and factors that could potentially influence their absorption.
The interface provides the users with the opportunity to play with the calibration of some of the 400 and more model's parameters within a range of values to investigate the long-term impact of different scenarios on CP funds' absorption. You will find short descriptions of all parametres within the Simulation.
