Poland

ERDF
The project partners from Poland (according to the CADSES programme the whole country territory is eligible) benefit from a EU co-financing rate of 75% of the eligible project costs. The EU co-financing is provided through the ERDF funds.

National co-financing
In Poland partners of the approved projects can apply for co-financing from the state budget. The state co-financing rate is up to 10% of the Polish partner′s budget (incl. ERDF; i.e. 75%ERDF+10%state budget+15%own resources). This co-financing is granted on annual basis (each year partners have to apply for the funds related to the activities foreseen for this year).
The application procedure for each year is published on the website www.interreg.gov.pl.
Granting the state funds is not automatic, therefore while applying for ERDF Polish partners have to guarantee the whole amount of national co-financing (25%) by themselves.

First level control is centralized in Poland and is performed by:
