Regione Lombardia has launched the public consultation “The role of Regione Lombardia in the governance of the access process to direct European funds” on the Open Innovation platform, which can be accessed via this link: http://www.openinnovation.regione.lombardia.it/it/questionario-ruolo-rl-pgd.

The objective is to identify the primary needs regarding access to European programmes and to gather input on the role that Regione Lombardia should play in this context.

This consultation is particularly important for gathering contributions on the actions that Regione Lombardia should implement regarding the Seal of Excellence, the certificate of excellence awarded to companies that were positively evaluated under the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument programme but were not funded.

The consultation will remain open until 30 September.
