Research commissioned by Arts Council England suggests that from 2007-2016, £190m of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding was awarded to projects focused on or linked to the arts, museums and the creative industries in England. EU funding works in 7 year cycles, and this statistic includes all data from the previous ERDF funding cycle (2007-2013) and as much of the current funding cycle as possible. I have provided the breakdown by region for this period of time. DCMS does not hold similar statistics for ERDF funding awarded in the Devolved Nations.
