Funding the fight against Covid 19-related healthcare emergency
In May 2020 the ERDF ROP financial plan has been modified, moving resources equal to 8,3 million euros from Priority Axis 4 to Priority Axis 1. Following an approval of the European Commission, this reprogramming is part of the various regional initiatives to support research in the industry in response to the Covid-19 pandemic emergency. In November 2020, the European Commission endorsed the Emilia-Romagna Region action to change programming of 190 million euros, to support regional healthcare facilities in dealing with consequences of the worldwide pandemic. It was an operation that secured the finalisation of various ongoing projects by providing funds of the National Development and Cohesion Fund.
As to Programme results, communication campaigns based on video and other audiovisual material contests have been successful in demonstrating projects featuring beneficiaries and their project story as testimonials of Europe in Emilia-Romagna.
