Les fonds FEDER
Conçus pour renforcer la cohésion économique et sociale au sein de l’union européenne et participer à l’effort de structuration des pays européens, les fonds FEDER ont été créés en 1975. En France, depuis le 1er janvier 2014, leur gestion a été en grande partie confiée aux régions. Ainsi, sur la base d’appel à projets lancés par les différentes régions et nommés « Programme Opérationnel Régional » (POR), ils permettent, entre autres, de doter les établissements d’enseignement supérieur et recherche de moyens d’investissements et de fonctionnements. Pour la programmation du FEDER 2014-2020, et en adéquation avec la Stratégie Europe 2020, la Région Ile-de-France dispose ainsi d’une enveloppe de 482 millions d’euros.
