Digital Agenda Funding

The ERNACT regions focus on adapting and transferring services, approaches or digital knowhow between regions. Please examine the following table to see a list of specific items transferred over the past few years

Digital Atlantic is a consultation among Europe's Atlantic regions to help identify their digital agenda needs for the period 2014 - 2020. It is expected to be completed by may 2014.

The initiative is a joint venture between the regions participating in two complimentry networks, i.e., ERNACT and the CPMR Atlantic Arc Commission

The approach is to engage directly with the Atlantic regions to discover their digital development priorities, project ideas and transnational cooperation needs. This will be achieved using a mixture of workshops, on-line collaboration tools and social media channels.

For practical purposes, the work is divided into three categories, each of which also form the topic of a workshop. Interested public authorities, universities, research centres and companies may attend and participate.
