Contingent liabilities for the EU budget: an updated appraisal (to include relevant aspects of the funding costs of EU borrowing) |
Regarding the objectives, this research study aims to provide a granular assessment regarding the existing EU contingent liabilities, the risks associated with them, and the best ways to manage them. The galaxy of EU financing instruments has increased significantly throughout recent years (Begg et al., 2022). This expansion necessarily leads to higher financial commitments on behalf of the EU, and these result in increased EU contingent liabilities. These are liabilities which can potentially arise in the future, but whose outcome is yet very uncertain and therefore difficult to evaluate. |

The impacts of recent inflation developments on the EU finances |
This study provides a more exhaustive and granular analysis on the impacts of inflation on EU finances. As inflation does not affect uniformly the economy, certain sectors, categories of expenditure and some Member States and regions are and will be more affected than others. This is notably the case whenever there is a larger than average concentration of projects requiring the purchase of energy intensive goods and services, gross capital formation in infrastructure or the provision of direct income support to farmers in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). |

Research on Digital Skills, Accommodation and Technological Assistance for Employment |
This research aims to understand the link between employment, digital skills, accessible and assistive technologies to propose solutions. These solutions must be advocated to policy makers and shared with relevant stakeholders, especially employers, the disability movement across Europe and technological companies developing assistive and accessibility solutions. For that goal, this research on the low employment rates of persons with disabilities will focus on the potential of digital skills training and use of accessible and assistive technologies to create positive change. |
