THALIA: Foundations of Change, Prosperity, Equality and Development

Programme “THALIA 2021-2027” constitutes a multi-annual, multi-fund development Programme that was drawn up in accordance to the Article 22 of the Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 (Common Provisions Regulation – CPR), outlining the development strategy for the utilisation of the resources allocated to Cyprus through the Cohesion Policy Funds, for the period 2021-2027.

The total budget of the Programme amounts to €1.81 billion, of which €968 million comes from the EU Cohesion Policy Funds, while the remaining €842 million is the national contribution.

The European Rare Diseases Partnership (ERDERA) was created to further contribute to the coordination of research efforts of European, associated and non-European countries in the field of rare diseases and to implement the objectives of the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC). These actions follow the five joint transnational calls for research projects on rare diseases launched by the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) since 2019.
