Projects
Participants
A wide range of legal bodies, under public or private law, are potential beneficiaries of ERDF funding and may therefore join a project partnership. Eligible bodies cover entities like:
- National, regional and local authorities including sector departments and related public agencies, or equivalent agencies;
- Universities, research centres and development agencies;
- Not for profit organisations.
The application must be submitted by a Lead Partner who must assume the financial and legal responsibility for the entire project (under conditions defined by EC regulations). Any type of organisation listed above may act as Lead Partner, subject to sufficient guarantees of its solvency and management capacities being provided. It is assumed that public organisations are solvent.
Furthermore, profit-making enterprises having an industrial or commercial character may participate as partners in an Atlantic Area project and may receive ERDF funding only for travel, accommodation and the corresponding audit costs associated with First level Control.
