Synergies: Czech Republic at the forefront of the new RIMA network and first experience with transfer

Last week the Commission, together with Member States Authorities responsible for R&I and cohesion policy programmes launched a new network on synergies under the ERA Forum. This group should become an irresistible place for exchange about how to combine in a more powerful way than until now the two main funding sources at European level for R&I. The group is jointly chaired by DG RTD, DG REGIO and a Member State (Czech Republic). More information here.

Lithuania is the first country to transfer money from its allocation under the EU regional development fund to Horizon Europe. The government is transferring €18.5 million to the direct management of the European Commission to increase the participation of Lithuanian scientists and businesses in international research and innovation projects under Horizon Europe.
