The European Commission is very keen on publicising all funding and has laid down conditions governing publicity activities. The Commission conducts random audits, and projects that do not meet those requirements are in danger of losing at least some funding.
When your project is monitored, the inspectors will be looking for ways you publicised your ERDF support. You should be able to prove that you have successfully promoted the European input using as many of the following methods as possible:
- use of our logo
- billboards and plaques
- briefing for beneficiaries
- information events, open days and launches
- press coverage
It is important that you use the appropriate European logo on all your publicity materials. This includes:
- project boards and signs
- leaflets and literature on the project
- websites
- newsletters
- posters
- press releases
Copies of the correct logo to use for ERDF projects are available through the related document section below. These are ideal for in-house printing and use on Word documents. If you require a higher resolution image for larger scale printing please contact the ERDF Communications Manager using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
