ERDF — Supporting Data Production, Acquisition, Storage, Aggregation and Processing
The catalogue targets in particular data projects serving the climate transition and Earth observation, as well as certain projects by local authorities, SMEs, associations and mobility players. The listed spending period runs from 2021 to 2029, but the conditions for applying today depend on the action sheet and the call. The exact cost categories, sharing obligations and rate must be checked.
Data can help observe an area better, anticipate the effects of climate change or improve public decision-making, provided it is reliable, structured and reusable. In Occitanie, this ERDF scheme supports different stages of the data life cycle: production, acquisition, storage, aggregation, opening, sharing and processing. The project must demonstrate how the data will be used and its value beyond a simple IT purchase.
