RIGA, Feb 3 (LETA) - The Riga City Council finance and administration affairs committee today supported the council's participation in the European Regions Research and Innovation Network (ERRIN).

ERRIN is a well-known Brussels-based platform that gathers around 120 regional organizations from more than 20 European countries.

Established in 2001, ERRIN supports members to enhance their regional and local research and innovation capacities and further develop their R&I ecosystems. 

The network maintains a long-standing relationship with the EU institutions and other organizations to strengthen the regional and local dimension in EU Research and Innovation policy and programs.

Latvia will have to pay EUR 2,750 in membership fee.

The final decision still has to be made by the Riga City Council.
