Budget allocation
Approximately € 17.5 million were allocated for the new projects in ERDF and Norwegian funds. Since the projects are 50% co-funded by the North Sea Region Programme, the total budget for all 9 projects is approximately € 35 million.
The allocated funds are distributed across the four programme priorities as shown in the figure below.
At the Secretariat, we are looking forward to working with the new projects. We wish them all the best of luck!
