Human capital belongs to main factors when discussing causes of regional disparities on one hand and the ways how to stimulate regional development on the other. In this regard, the process of human capital building is traditionally connected with increasing productivity. It is noteworthy that the process of human capital building is based on education and learning. Moreover, human capital is perceived as an important factor of regional differentiation. Then, it is not surprising that human capital was firmly positioned in the fundamental conceptual framework of European cohesion policy with its goal to reduce spatial disparities. This article is focused on spatial analysis of projects supported from the Operational Programme Education for Competiveness. Just this Programme may be regarded as the most relevant Czech operational programme related to the themes human capital and education. The main findings of our analysis are a bit ambivalent when considering the convergence goal of cohesion policy. Thus, the projects were allocated in all Czech districts. However, an important influence of settlement hierarchy may be identified. In addition, the absorption capacity of tertiary education institutions plays a substantial role in regional differentiation.
