European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
ERDF funding aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the European Union by supporting regional economic development. The East Midlands is eligible for approximately £240m (subject to exchange rate variations) between 2007 and 2013, which, when combined with the required match funding, provides a programme value of approximately £480m – a significant investment in the economic development of the region. East Midlands Development Agency (emda) is responsible for the programme management and delivery of the region’s new ERDF Competitiveness Programme. To help regional stakeholders find out more about ERDF, the region’s strategy for delivering the funds, how to apply for funding and how the Programme is managed, a bespoke website had been created.
