This dataset offers an indicative correspondence between 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 intervention fields. NB: this mapping is indicative and not official. It can be used to estimate financial allocations and compare investment strategies.

Please note that there is no one to one equivalence between 2021-2027 and 2014-2020 intervention fields, and some 2021-2027 intervention fields have no equivalent in the previous programming period. On the other hand, several intervention fields have more than one possible equivalence. These are listed as 2014-2020 intervention fields 1, 2,and 3.
