Event Description

In case you register for the two consecutive seminars on CBA Why and How and CBA Advanced, you will be offered areduction of €200 on the total regular fee.

Target group
Participants of previous editions of CBA seminars wishing to broaden and improve their practical knowledge on CBA, practitioners responsible for the preparation of the CBA or review of its quality and reporting its result.

Description
The goal of this intensive two-day seminar – the follow up to the ‘CBA Why and How’ – is to explain in a very detailed and practical way how to successfully perform each element of CBA (financial, economic, sensitivity and risk analysis) of projects eligible under EU Funds in different sectors, with special focus on typical benefits and the techniques used most frequently to evaluate them in the programming period 2014-2020.

There will be practical workshops allowing participants to practice in small groups how to review the quality of CBA, how to report their results, how to adjust the project to improve the quality of the CBA and make it desirable for the EU co-financing.

Learning methodology
Traditional training methods used during the first day of the seminar (lectures including concrete examples and case studies) will be combined with very intensive practical workshops on the second day. Participants will work in small working groups in order to find key features of the project, deficiencies and pitfalls (each group will review a different case study: railway, motorway, solid waste, waste water, urban regeneration and R&D) with direct involvement of CBA experts, followed by the presentation of workshop results by each group, discussion with experts, questions from other groups and final evaluation experts panel.

Objectives
By the end of the seminar, participants will have improved their practical knowledge on how to perform financial, economic, sensitivity and risk analysis of projects, as well as learning how to efficiently review the quality of CBA in different sectors and how to report their results.
