On January 30-31, the 4th edition of the Cross-Border Monitoring Network annual meeting took place in Brussels, bringing together experts and practitioners dedicated to cross-border cooperation and data collection. 

As part of this event, Johan van der Valk from Statistics Netherlands had the opportunity to present the Cross-Border Data Collection Project to a community of professionals working on cross-border issues. This was a valuable occasion to exchange perspectives, explore synergies with other ongoing projects, and discuss the challenges and opportunities of cross-border data collection.

We look forward to continuing these discussions and expanding our collaboration. In the coming months, we will be organizing workshops to further engage with stakeholders and deepen our work on cross-border data collection methodologies. We warmly invite all interested parties to participate and contribute to this evolving dialogue.

The Cross-Border Data Collection Project is commissioned by DG REGIO and carried out by a consortium led by ÖIR GmbH, in collaboration with Statistics Netherlands and supported by INSEE and Statistics Denmark.
