Abstract

The EU operates at least three major instruments supporting R&I across its regions: cohesion policy, Horizon Europe, and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Cohesion policy and Horizon 2020 combined contribute critically to the R&D expenditure in most regions of Eastern Europe (often to the extent of 20% or higher) as well as many Mediterranean regions. R&I cohesion policy and Horizon 2020 funds exhibit very different regional concentration levels along North-South and East-West lines. However, Horizon 2020 funds are much more territorially concentrated than cohesion policy ones, with the bulk going to few areas leading in R&I, which may heighten the risk of regional disparities. In Eastern Europe and some parts of the Mediterranean even middle-income and more developed regions in Eastern European countries fail to attract higher amounts of Horizon 2020 than their cohesion policy allocation. RRF Third, the RRF provide substantial support to R&I in both countries with a weak and good innovation performance, placing it in-between cohesion policy and Horizon in terms of concentration.
