The objective of this peer learning event is to discuss good practices and issues of education and lifelong learning at regional level – both in practice, policy making and data collection. We will discuss the main indicators and goals through which social progress and state of education can be measured and collect other aspects in this area that could be considered worthy of including in the EU-SPI.
Experts from Hungary and the international organisation EURYDICE will share their thoughts, the regions will have the opportunity to share and discuss good practices and as an outcome concrete suggestions for the EU-SPI in relation to indicators covering the field of education and lifelong learning will be developed.

The second EUSPI Peer Learning event, focusing on "The comparability issue on indexes: The specific case of the EU-SPI" took place in Brussels on the 11th of October 2019.
The workshop discussed issues of comparability and types of peer groups aiming to:
- introduce the key concepts and issues that define the challenge of comparability between peer groups
- highlight ideas from case studies of different project partners, which can serve as inspiration for more detailed discussion and experience sharing
- suggest some key question to focus peer discussion.
What makes certain regions more resilient than others? What are the mutual relationships between quality of governance, territorial competitiveness and social cohesion? This session launches the new Regional Competitiveness Index and brings together good practices and case studies on regional governance and social progress. The aim is to understand if progress in governance is connected to a more competitive environment and higher social integration with the help of most updated data and the direct involvement of regional authorities.
