Response to the pandemic emergency Covid-19

In May 2020 the ERDF ROP financial plan has been modified by moving resources equal to 8.3 million euros from Axis 4 to Axis 1. With the approval of the European Commission, this reprogramming is part of the regional actions to support the industrial research in response to Covid-19 pandemic emergency. In November 2020 the European Commission allowed the Emilia-Romagna Region to reprogram 190 million euros of Programme resources, in order to support the regional health structures in dealing with the consequences of the pandemic. An operation that guarantees completion of the replaced projects with another source of funding, the National Fund for Development and Cohesion.

About the Programme results, communication campaigns on spot video contests have been successful in demonstrating examples of projects featuring the beneficiaries and their project story as testimony of Europe in Emilia-Romagna Region.
