Organised by the Living-in.EU Financial subgroup, this webinar will offer the opportunity to present the implementing mechanisms of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDICs) on behalf of the European Commission. It will showcase some use cases from the national and local level as well as presenting best practices on combining the RRF funds and national funds in the France Relance Programme.  

According to the 2030 Policy Programme “Path to the Digital Decade”, multi-country projects involving several Member States could allow for large-scale interventions in areas necessary for the achievement of digital targets. The EDICs could play a central role in accelerating the deployment of multi-country projects. They will be established in various digital areas.
