Cork’s Place in Europe - Next Generation EU

Cork Chamber is delivering a “Communicating Europe Initiative”, supported by the Department of Foreign A airs. The programme is aimed at deepening public awareness of the role the European Union plays in our daily lives and at improving the quality and accessibility of public information on European issues, particularly at regional and national level.

Many of the challenges and opportunities that we face today are global and we cannot address these on our own. As such, our programme “Cork’s Place in Europe - Next Generation EU’’ seeks to engage members by o ering an opportunity to have their say on how decisions and policies are communicated at European level.

Specifically, Ireland is set to receive almost €1 billion in grants from the European Union to support Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan, of which 42% will go to climate objectives and 32% to digital objectives. The plan forms part of an unprecedented coordinated EU response to the COVID-19 crisis. It should support city regions such as Cork to address challenges by embracing the green and digital transitions which will in turn, strengthen economic and social resilience and the cohesion of the Single Market.
