In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the EU has developed REACT-EU, a program designed to mitigate the economic and social consequences of the pandemic in Europe.
REACT-EU (Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe) allocates a total of €400 million for projects in North Rhine-Westphalia over the next two years. Of this, €260 million will be used within the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The ERDF is being implemented by the North Rhine-Westphalia state government. The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia is the lead agency.
The North Rhine-Westphalia state government has also commissioned the production of a documentary film in 2022, which will showcase five exemplary projects from the program, including the German Wind Power Museum.
The film can now be viewed on YouTube at the following link:
