What is Kohesio?

• Cohesion funds: shared management with national and local authorities in the member states
• The member states have a legal obligation to publish the list of projects and beneficiaries on their national websites
• The goal of Kohesio is to aggregate this data and make it publicly available in an easy, open way

Raw data

1. Hundreds of files in CSV, XLSX or XLS published by member states
2. Reference data: intervention fields, thematic objectives, programmes, funds, NUTS, etc.
3. Wikidata

Enriching the data

1. Translating project labels and descriptions into English
2. Computing geographic coordinates based on postal code (geocoding)
3. Deducing in which NUTS region the project is located
4. Linking NUTS regions and beneficiaries with Wikidata
