Agenda

  • Welcome and introduction by the Commission
  • Presentation by the Commission on Co-funding modalities DIGITAL and RRF
  • Member States questions
  • Wrap up and close of meeting

Summary of the main themes discussed during the webinar

The EC presented the overview of the RRF/RRP process.  Examples of Milestones and targets were given and a workflow to outline the envisaged process. 

To avoid the problem of double funding the EC notes some solutions:

  • Use the same proposal as a basis for the project.
  • Sign two contracts, which are linked.
  • Agree that DIGITAL will pay max 50% and RRP project will the other 50% of actual eligible costs.

All Member States were given the opportunity to provide questions in advance.  These questions were used and answered within the presentation.

Conclusion:

Co-Funding between Digital and RRF is not only possible but also easy, providing careful attention is given to avoid issues of double funding.
