European Regional Development Fund (Structural Funds) Objective 1: development and structural adjustment of regions that are lagging behind. Regions eligible are those whose per capita GDP is less than 75% of the Community average. Total budget for years : 50 billion € (~ 60 billion US$). Budget for R&D National Operational Plan: ~ 4% of total: 2 billion € (~ 2.4 billion US$). Over 80% of the budget is public funding (EU and national).

R&D National Operational Plan Three main strategic themes: 1.Promotion of R&D and innovation in industry, especially in Regional strategic sectors; 2.Strengthening of local scientific institutions through infrastructures, instruments, networks; 3.Development of human capital (education and training of highly skilled workers). Forthcoming call for projects: Set-up/ strengthening of high performance computing facilities in Universities or public research Institutions for: Computational modeling in physics, chemistry, nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, environmental sciences, material sciences, interdependencies and systems of systems, etc.; Management and processing of very large databases; Immersive simulation.
