1 Information & Publicity of structural funds: The challenge of conforming to I&P rules and the importance of web based tools Angelika IOANNIDES Head of Programming & Communication Management Organisation Unit Greece 2010 Annual Conference on Technical Assistance March 25th, 2010 JW Marriott Grand Hotel, Bucharest, Romania

2 Contents 1. The Management Organisation Unit 2. MOU tools in Information & Publicity 3. I&P binding obligations for beneficiaries and how to enhance their communication capacity 4. The importance of web based tools 5. Greek websites and lessons learnt

3 Who are we? The Management Organisation Unit (MOU) is a government agency under the Greek Ministry of Economy, Competitiveness & Shipping. Established by a joint decision of the European Commission and the Greek Government Purpose: strengthen the administrative and management capacity of implementing bodies by meeting specific needs in: highly specialised human resources know-how modern infrastructures and information systems The MOU is the single largest beneficiary of the Greek OP Technical Assistance

4 Our contribution in the Information & Publicity field We assist the Greek National Coordination Authority (Information & Publicity Unit) and the OP Managing Authorities in the implementation of I&P measures: We implement web based tools providing information on structural funds and funding opportunities We train information officers in MA s and beneficiaries in the field of I&P (traditional and e-learning courses) We provide guidelines and tools We participate in the National Information & Publicity Network and the Commission s INFORM network

5 I&P obligations: the challenge of getting the message across to Beneficiaries Beneficiaries and project implementers have a binding obligation to publicise the Structural Fund contribution to their activities. However they: often ignore their I&P regulatory obligations lack the resources, skills and experience to design and implement their own publicity measures Beneficiaries must become aware that non-compliance with I&P regulatory obligations can result in heavy penalties!!

6 How to enhance the publicity and communication capacity of beneficiaries Communicate early and clearly with grant holders about their I&P obligations. Good idea: brochure with rules Give guidelines and examples per information tool Provide easy access to official logos Use the OP website as a forum for beneficiaries, exchange of best practices Provide help desk for I&P and training opportunities

7 The importance of web based tools in I&P Information is at the heart of Structural Funds Programming: Applicants and beneficiaries need guidance to submit good quality projects and to implement their projects in line with regulatory obligations Web based tools are by far the most important information tools, offering: general information to a broad spectrum of users exhaustive / detailed operational information to those actively involved in structural funds programming access to EU-funded programmes

8 Web tools created by MOU NSRF Portal State aid Information System Best practices website
