The aim of the Priority Working Groups is to support the Programme Monitoring Committee (PMC) in carrying out its responsibilities. Specifically, the principal role and function of Priority Working Group 1 is to agree and commission, in partnership, the necessary activity to ensure that the Promoting Innovation and Research & Development priority of the programme may be fulfilled.
The group has established an Investment Framework which will help deliver the priority and meet its objectives. The Investment Framework states the route for project development, implementation details and the timing and sequence of events. The latest version of the Framework is available to download from the 'Related Documents'.
In addition to this, the group will be tasked with raising awareness of the programme and European funding opportunities and encouraging partners in the sub-regions to apply for ERDF where this is a strategic need.
