This presentation discusses the use of project-level data for monitoring and the evaluation of EU research and innovation policy. First, a new dataset of R&I-related projects co-funded by the ERDF during the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020 is introduced. Second, this data is used, together with Horizon 2020 project information, to explore interlinkages between the funding schemes in terms of thematic priorities as well as beneficiaries.
