The Integrated Territorial Investment - ITI - is a tool introduced in 2015 in the Common Provision Regulation for use during the European Structural and Investment Funds programming period. This tool aims to make it easier to run territorial strategies that need funding from different sources. It also promotes a more local form of policymaking.

The Workshops intends to analyse and debate the functioning of the ITI from a budgetary control perspective, with particular attention to the need for simplification of rules, the reduction of regulation and the effectiveness of the investments involved. The speakers list includes representatives from the EU Institutions - Commission and Court of Auditors -, and from the academic world, as well as national operators involved in the day by day programming and implementation of the ITI in the Czech Republic and Italy.
