ERDF - obtaining European assistance
The ERDF
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is the European Union's financial lever for successfully achieving its cohesion and regional development policy. In other words, the ERDF aims to reduce economic, social and territorial disparities between the 28 Member States of the European Union by co-financing projects designed to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as defined in the "Europe 2020 Strategy". The ERDF Regulations define 7-year "programming periods" for conducting projects in different European regions, plus 2 or 3 years to finalise these projects if necessary.

ERDF Directorate
In the Brussels-Capital Region, the government decided to set up a department within Brussels Regional Public Service specifically responsible for the management and coordination of the Fund.
Since the end of 2019, the ERDF Unit has become a directorate within the Directorate General Brussels International, and is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the operational programs. This involves supporting the various project leaders, ensuring the financial, budgetary and administrative follow-up of the programming and also ensuring the first level of expenditure control. A multidisciplinary team is in charge of this task.
The ERDF Directorate is also the point of contact with the European institutions and regional and local players, as well as with the beneficiaries of funds and counterparts in other Belgian and European regions.
