European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) are a new implementation mechanism for multi-country projects, first introduced in Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030. Their main objective is to provide a legal framework to invest in multi-country projects which, given their scale, cannot be set up effectively by single Member States. Therefore, EDICs will facilitate coordination of funding, and enable speedy establishment and flexible implementation of multi-country projects to create incentives for Member States, while ensuring common standards and interoperability.
