CCDR Algarve wants more than 80 million per year in R&D and more power in managing European funds

Barlavento15 September 2026 at 17:05

CCDR Algarve is advocating for a significant increase in funding for research and development in the region, requesting more than 80 million euros per year for this area. The proposal was presented by José Apolinário, president of this body.

As part of this claim, José Apolinário proposes the creation of a specific regional chapter in the next European financial framework, which will cover the period between 2028 and 2034. This chapter would allow for greater autonomy in managing European funds allocated to the region.

In addition to increasing funding for R&D, CCDR Algarve also intends to obtain more power in the administration of available European funds. This claim arises in the context of a broader negotiation on the distribution of community funds.

Strengthening business investment in research and development is another of José Apolinário's objectives to boost the Algarve's economy. The region thus intends to position itself more competitively in the national and European landscape in terms of innovation.

Why this matters

Algarve readers are directly affected because the region could benefit from increased European funding for research and development, potentially creating jobs and innovative projects. The claim for greater autonomy in managing funds could also alter the dynamics between regional and central power in the execution of European funds.
