The programme countries agreed that indicatively 10 million Euro ERDF will be used for further rolling out existing project outputs and results at the regional and local level as well as to improve policy making. The call will also encourage closer coordination with other, horizontal EU funding instruments such as Horizon 2020, Connecting Europe Facility or LIFE.
