This Regional Regulatory Decree regulates support for the acquisition, remodelling, improvement, expansion, or construction of cultural activity infrastructures in the Azores. It is based on the legal framework established by Regional Legislative Decree n.º 29/2006/A, modified and republished by Regional Legislative Decree n.º 9/2014/A (RJAAC), which created the legal regime for supporting activities in the Azores by regional, national, or foreign agents.
The document aims to provide financial aid through cooperation contracts for cultural projects, with specific percentages of funding released at different project milestones. The support application process requires candidates to submit forms within a specified timeframe, and the financial assistance is subject to maximum limits based on the type of project. The Regional Government’s involvement includes publicising the support granted on relevant platforms and ensuring that beneficiaries acknowledge the support received in their promotional materials.
The document emphasises the importance of optimising available resources and improving the efficiency of regional administration through shared service centres, as outlined in the Program of the XI Regional Government of the Azores.
Overall, the Decree establishes a structured framework for cultural infrastructure development in the Azores, aligning with the government’s strategic goals for regional development and resource management.
