2021-2022 REACT-EU ERDF-ESF categorisation

2021 / 2027 Categorisation
View based on ESIF 2014-2020 categorisation ERDF-ESF-CF - planned
This file contains "categorisation data" from the ERDF/ESF programmes using REACT-EU as adopted (including modifications). The data is in current prices. It is regularly updated to reflect reprogramming notified by the programmes.

The data is provided in tables, one for each priority axis (investment pillar), for each specific programme. The categorisation system is defined in Implementing Regulation 215/2014 with 8 dimensions - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32014R0215.
These dimension represent different ways of categorising the nature of the EU support (i.e. the intervention (activity) field, the form of finance, the territorial context, etc.).
In the programme documents only 4 dimensions were encoded for ERDF/ Cohesion Fund while 5 dimensions were encoded for ESF and can be found in the dataset. In analysing the content of the dataset the different dimension should be analysed separately - **NEVER AGGREGATE VALUES ACROSS DIMENSIONS** as otherwise double counting of the financial amounts will occur.

A second dataset found here - https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/EU-Level/ESIF-2014-2020-Categorisation-Crosscutting-Themes-/xns4-t7ym - provides a lookup table for understanding how the Commission uses the intervention field codes to look at cross cutting issues such as investments in "innovation", "enterprise support", etc. That lookup dataset also has the "climate change tracking" weightings and a similar weighting system for "biodiversity tracking".

The Intervention field dimension is the most complete of the the different dimensions in terms of financial coverage.

The total investments under other dimension may vary for different reasons (i.e. Technical assistance priority axes are not encoded in all dimensions, etc.)

If downloading, check the format of financial amounts and where necessary change your regional settings and default formatting in your chosen software. You can check the results of your aggregation of the financial data by comparing results with the pre-formatted charts profiled on this metadata page under “featured content”.

Programme Title
Short title of the operational programme. The name is intended for general users; it may not coincide with the formal name of the operational programme, but it is sufficiently precise to allow the unambiguous identification of the OP.

Priority Axis: the investment pillars in the programme. There is no harmonised numbering or naming of Priority Axes. Programmes were free to structure the Priority Axes as needed. For more information on the structure of the operational programmes, see: Regulation (EU) No 1303/ 2013 Art 27 (Content of programmes), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 288/ 2014, Commission Implementing Regulation 808/2014,

Dim Type
The Categorisation system is made up of 9 different dimensions. Five dimensions were initially required to be estimated in the draft programme texts. The ESF secondary theme codes are not relevant for ERDF/CF investments. For more information on the categorisation system see : Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215 / 2014 and the Guidance note here: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/informat/2014/guidance_categorisation_climate_en.pdf

Category of Region
Data is reported by category of region for ERDF and ESF. There are three categories of region: less developed, transition, and more developed. These "categories of region" codes do not formally apply to CF, EAFRD or EMFF. For more information on the categories of regions see: Regulation (EU) No 1303/ 2013 Art 90(2).

Is Multi TO?
Categorisation data is provided by Priority axis (not by Thematic Objective). As some priority axes are not dedicated to single Thematic Objectives this flags the multi TO priority axes.

TO Cd
Code for the thematic objective ("Theme" in the platform visualizations). In addition to the 11 thematic objectives set out in the legal basis (see notes), the dataset also includes separate codes for TA-technical assistance, a category 12 for additional the support allocated to the outermost and sparsely populated areas and a code "DM - EAFRD" for discontinued measures from 2007-2013. For more information on thematic objectives, see: Regulation (EU) No 1303/ 2013 Art 9.
