• The development within ESPON 2013 is targeted to the use of policy makers and practitioners at all administrative levels (including cross-border and transnational groupings)

ESPON ToolsExisting ESPON Tools:

• ESPON Database webportal, including regional database, OLAP Cube for NUTS to grid conversion, Code in R language for outlier detection

• ESPON HyperAtlas

• ESPON Mapping Guiding

• Typology Compilation/Regional Typologies Guidance Paper

Existing ESPON ToolsESPON Database Webportal (Version June 2012)

The ESPON Database aims to contribute to a better understanding of the potentials and development perspectives of regions in the European context and globalised world.

The ESPON 2013 Database provides access to the following data categories: regional, local, urban, neighborhood (candidate countries), world, grid and historical data.

Currently the ESPON regional database contains app. 1250 socio-economic indicators, covering 60 countries in Europe and in the world. The temporal coverage of the data is from 1950 to 2050.

Most of the datasets and information produced are public available and free accessible.
