CASE – Annual Report 2022
Letter from the President
Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Readers, In 2022 CASE continued to excel in its statutory activity – it performed 45 projects with an overall turnover of almost EUR 1.5 million. EU institutions continued to be CASE’s biggest clients and donors (primarily Eurostat, DG Research & Innovation, DG Taxud, the European Parliament, European Economic and Social Committee and the European Committee of Regions). Unlike in previous years, a considerable share of CASE funding came from Polish public funds, mainly National Operators of Norway Funds. The CASE team has expanded by around 20%, attracting a talented generation of young economists and sociologists who contribute to our mission with excellent ideas, a hard-working spirit and dedication.
Our work continues to pursue topics relevant to European societies within the EU, but also in their neighbourhoods. The majority of our projects relate to environmental and economic sustainability, innovativeness, and macroeconomic, societal and fiscal challenges related to global changes, but also to the negative consequences of the war in Ukraine and steps toward reforms for this country.
As a recognised Central and Eastern European think-tank, together with our daughter organisation CASE Ukraine and the most prominent economists of the region, we drew up a Reform Strategy for Ukraine.
As a recognised Central and Eastern European think-tank, together with our daughter organisation CASE Ukraine and the most prominent economists of the region, we drew up a Reform Strategy for Ukraine – a Blueprint highlighting the necessary institutional changes leading to the country’s sustainable development. The enormous interest in the Blueprint resulted in several dissemination activities and discussions, continuing well into 2023 .
As for our everyday performance, in 2022 CASE continued to excel in its statutory activity – it carried out 45 projects with an overall turnover of almost EUR 1.5 million. EU institutions continued to be the biggest clients for CASE (primarily DG Taxud, the European Parliament, Eurostat, and Horizon 2020 projects). Unlike in previous years, a considerable share of CASE funding came from Polish public and private clients.
Projects in 2022 worth highlighting include those in the field of sustainable development: a new Horizon 2020 project, BioBeo – focusing on education in the area of the bioeconomy, as well as a project on energy policy and the labour market analysing the consequences for em- ployment in regions undergoing energy transitions. CASE also continued the applied USAGE project focusing on urban stormwater aquaponics. In the field of trade, innovation and growth, CASE implemented the Start-up your idea! project centred on nurturing entrepre- neurship in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic while also moving forward with the innovative territorial impact assessment project tackling the spatial effects of public policies. Where fiscal policies are concerned, CASE started, inter alia, a project on PIT-gap calculation in EU Member States.
