The EUR 250,000 was an additional 'top-up' announced by Commissioner Micallef, not the total support provided through the READY project. The READY project was originally funded with EUR 1.5 million from the EU's Creative Europe programme, and the additional EUR 250,000 brought total support to EUR 1,750,000. The announcement was made in February 2025 at a High-Level Dialogue in Rome convened by ICCROM and the EU Delegation to Italy.
Source publication dates (2025) are after the session date (2026-04-29) but the events described occurred before the session date.
The context about 'global partners withdrew' could not be independently verified from available sources.
