ESI Funds
December 2015
Maeva Roulette, ESF Technical Working Group, 3 December 2015, Luxembourg

2. What is the Open Data Platform?
The Open Data Platform is a web-based platform that will present information from the ESIF programmes (financial allocations, achievements, etc.) throughout the programming period.
It will be launched in December 2015 as a complement to Art. 16 Report, which will take the form of a Commission Communication.
Its aim is to make information on ESI Funds more transparent and accessible to the public.

3. ESIF Open Data Platform
Data on financial allocations and selected common indicators:
STAGE 1: EU, fund, country, and theme (TOs) levels; context data, useful links
STAGE 2: programme level, payment rates, updated adoption details
Possibility to download the data in excel format
Stage 1
Stage 2
As programmes are implemented – we will show also:
Categorisation details
Financial progress in project selection and expenditure (possibly 3 times a year)
All common indicators and progress in realising outputs (annually)
Links to lists of beneficiaries

9. TO1 – Strengthening research, technological development and innovation EU Amount (euro)

10. Achievements = Lists of common indicators with aggregate targets

11. Achievement lists will lead to visualization by MS

12. Achievements Selected common indicators will be displayed
The common indicators are direct outputs or in some cases (immediate) result indicators
The value shown is the target achievement for the end of the period (later achievements values will be made available)
For some funds targets were not a requirement so common indicators are partially available (for example for ESF)
In any case common indicators represent many but not all of the expected actions to be financed

15. Member State page – Specificities for ESF and YEI
No targets broken down by Member State in the first phase for ESF and YEI;
Not all Member States have chosen the same indicators to set targets (flexibility ESF Regulation);
Some Member States have set targets in percentages, others in values;
Commission services will be in contact with the Managing Authorities to define which meaningful targets should be presented on the platform.
