The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is one of the European Structural Investments Funds and one of the European Commission’s instruments within the framework of Cohesion Policy.
Between 2021-2027 the European Union and the Government of Ireland will co-invest €880 million through ERDF into Irish regions, of which €395 million is funded through the European Union and €485 million is funded through the Government of Ireland.
ERDF is designed to strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion by correcting imbalances between regions. In Ireland this activity is undertaken under three strategic priority areas:
Smarter More Competitive Regions: Building RD&I capacity in regional public research institutions, accelerating commercialisation of cutting-edge research at regional level, supporting innovation diffusion and strengthening regional innovation ecosystems in line with Ireland’s Smart Specialisation Strategy and Regional Enterprise Plans.
Greener More Energy Efficient Regions & a Just Transition: Scaling up investment to improve energy efficiency of residential homes, targeting homeowners in/ at risk of energy poverty.
Sustainable Urban Development in our Regions: An integrated strategic approach to the regeneration of towns using a Town Centres First Framework.
In Ireland there are two ERDF Programmes co-funded by the European Union and the Government of Ireland:
