The POLICY ANSWERS project aims at facilitating policy learning through policy dialogue, policy analysis, capacity building, thematic coordination and pilot activities in the Western Balkans (WB) region. Focusing on research and innovation (R&I) policy and governance systems, the project also addresses related areas in education, culture, youth and sport as well as priorities such as Green Transition, Digital Transformation and Health.

POLICY ANSWERS monitors and promotes policy coordination within the European Union (EU)-WB cooperation, supporting the six WB economies: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. It works to enhance their potential for successful participation in regional and multilateral activities, fostering cooperation and increasing access to networks, information and excellence in the above-mentioned areas.

Presented here are key insights drawn from the project’s e-book “Shaping the Future Together”.
