Wales Office written question – answered at on 30 October 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what estimate his Department has made of the number of people in Wales who have been participants in (a) INTERREG, (b) Horizon 2020, (c) EaSi, (d) COSME and (e) Erasmus+ in each of the last five years.
The UK Government does not hold official figures related to INTERREG/European Territorial Cooperation programmes and COSME below UK level.
At May 2017, there were 162 Horizon 2020 participations from Wales.
The Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) programme is managed directly by the European Commission. Most actions under the programme are directed at stakeholders other than Government, and require participants to bid for funding. For the most part, project tenders come from consortia of stakeholders (academics, social partners and civil society) working with counterparts in other Member States. While the information on UK beneficiaries is publicly available on the Commission website, this is not broken down by region.
The most recently published figures available show the following Erasmus+ participation in Wales:
2013/14 | 2012/13 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 | 2009/10 |
847 | 703 | 688 | 630 | 582 |
