Data Card - Cohesion policy and climate change research: projects of the CMCC Foundation
On the sidelines of COP27, the twenty-seventh U.N. Climate Change Conference that closed in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on Nov. 20, OpenCoesione interviewed the CMCC Foundation, a multidisciplinary research center that carries out studies and models of the climate system and its interactions with society and the environment. In the 2014-2020 cycle of cohesion policies, in fact, two projects have been funded with the Foundation as a beneficiary. The first, worth nearly five million euros, was financed by the Fund for Development and Cohesion (FSC) under the PUGLIA PATTO, aimed at building the national facility for climate change data, i.e., the CMCC headquarters, in Lecce. The second, worth about 6 million euros, ensured the expansion, updating and upgrading of the JUNO Supercomputing Center (POR FESR FSE PUGLIA).
Data Card - Ten years of At the School of OpenCohesion: numbers and results
On 10th November 2022 the 2022-2023 edition of At the School of OpenCohesion (ASOC) kicked off with the introductory webinar.

Civic monitoring does not replace administrative monitoring or institutional investment verification mechanisms, but - in the spirit of all the activities connected to the OpenCoesione initiative - promotes collaboration, participation and transparency. At the School of OpenCohesion project has reached its tenth edition this school year: for this reason, on the occasion of International Students' Day, OpenCoesione dedicates a Data Card to "all the numbers" and the results of ASOC dated 17th November.

The projects chosen are almost exclusively located in the southern regions and in particular 3 in Sardinia Region, which - thanks also to the cohesion policies - in the period of the last two programming periods has achieved a significant increase in the % of organic waste intercepted and treated efficiently, no longer disposing them in the landfills or thermoelectric plants based on incineration.
Data Card: Cohesion policy and audiovisual heritage
October 27 is World Audiovisual Heritage Day, established in 2005, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Recommendation for the Safeguarding of Moving Images by the General Conference of UNESCO.
In 2021, the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage theme is "Your Window to the World". This definition fits audiovisual materials which, as objects of documentary heritage, provide a window from which to observe events that we cannot witness, we listen to voices from the past that can no longer speak and we create stories that inform and entertain.
After having dedicated a Data Card in 2020 to cohesion policies and cinema, or to the creation and production of films and film-TVs and the digitization of cinemas, this year OpenCoesione explores other types of projects relating to the audiovisual heritage.
Data Card - Inclusive tourism and cohesion policies
Le Nazioni Unite hanno deciso di dedicare il World Tourism Day 2021 - che si celebra il 27 settembre - al “turismo per una crescita inclusiva”. Il 2020 e il 2021 rappresentano due anni senza precedenti per l’industria del turismo. La pandemia di COVID-19 ha avuto un enorme impatto sociale ed economico, che ha colpito le economie sviluppate e quelle in via di sviluppo. In Italia le politiche di coesione nazionali e comunitarie hanno offerto ingenti risorse e ampie opportunità per promuovere l'attrattività turistica del Paese. L’analisi degli investimenti effettuati nei cicli di programmazione 2007-2013 e 2014-2020, indica tre principali ambiti tematici di intervento indirizzati alla valorizzazione delle dotazioni di capitale naturale e culturale territoriale e al potenziamento della capacità di accogliere il turista, anche nelle aree interne del Paese. La Data Card è dedicata a questi progetti di "turismo inclusivo".
