In the 2021–2027 period, in addition to the above sources, there is an opportunity to support some interventions implementing the RIS3 strategies through new EU instruments that are being prepared (e.g. the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Just Transition Mechanism and the Modernisation Fund). The exact amount of funding from these instruments and the possible links to RIS3 strategies is still being refined at the time of finalisation of the National RIS3 Strategy 2021–2027 and, if relevant, it will be further specified in future updates of the strategy and its annexes.
