New RIMA report: the Czech Republic contributed to the analysis of synergies and recommendations for the future

18/03/2025

The European Commission has published the RIMA report, in which the Czech Republic participated significantly. In it you can read good practices of the Member States in the field of synergies between the Framework Programme and national/regional/cohesion funds, but also the problem in the implementation of synergies. The group, in cooperation with the EC, also came to recommendations in the short and long term. These concern not only cooperation with the EC but also coordination within Member States and with various stakeholders. The report shows that although progress has been made in implementing synergies, there are still many obstacles to be addressed.

The RIMA group is composed of representatives of the EC and representatives of national R&D&I funders and Cohesion Policy funds.
