Policy instruments
Discover the policy instruments that the partners of this project are tackling.
A means for public intervention. It refers to any policy, strategy, or law developed by public authorities and applied on the ground to improve a specific territorial situation. In most cases, financial resources are associated with a policy instrument. However, an instrument can also sometimes refer to a legislative framework with no specific funding. In the context of Interreg Europe, operational programmes for Investment for Growth and Jobs as well as Cooperation Programmes from European Territorial Cooperation are policy instruments. Beyond EU cohesion policy, local, regional, or national public authorities also develop their own policy instruments.
RP Lombardia ERDF 2021-2027- Support for accelerating the digital transformation process of public services provided by the Public Administration
The support for accelerating the digital transformation process of services concerns the strengthening of the digital capacity of the regional public administration and local authorities and the relative virtual interactions with the territory, with a view to simplifying and making processes more efficient, guaranteeing quality, timeliness and transparency of the service, to favor the inclusion of the most fragile subjects and territories and to consolidate a data-driven approach to the policy decision-making system, through models capable of providing structured data and information and to identify development trends. In the context of Lombardy's cultural heritage, it is intended to implement digitization actions in line with the objectives of the recommendation relating to a common European data space (C(2021) 7953 of 10.11.2021).

The policy instrument, aligned with EU's priorities, is structured in 5 strategic objectives, one is directly concerned with the topic's call: a more competitive and intelligent Region, investing in innovation, digitalization, competitiveness of companies, skills for intelligent specialization and entrepreneurship. There are 2 more strategic objectives connected with the cultural dimension: a more inclusive Region through implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights and a Region closer to citizens by fostering the local development.The focus of digitalisation is on the need to reinforce the broadband digital infrastructure component (RSO1.5) and to modernize the public administration in the territory (RSO1.2), promoting its capacity to respond effectively to the needs of citizens/companies, removing territorial asymmetries in access to these services and enhancing the sharing of information between services and the digital interaction between the administration and citizens/companies. In terms of social inclusion through culture, the policy instrument foresees interventions in heritage to preserve our heritage but also promoting its digitalization (RSO4.6). Having the goal of an integrated local development implies the promotion of culture and heritage and, with that rationale, the policy instrument envisages this through the investment in territorial assets, mainly culture and heritage, to valorize the role of culture in the cohesion and territorial development (RSO5.1)
