The EU Disability Card pilot initiative was financed under the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme 2014-20201 and implemented via eight pilot projects in 2016-2018. It aimed to promote the rights of persons with disabilities and to support the voluntary mutual recognition of the disability status in eight participating Member States: Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Malta, Romania, and Slovenia.

The study aimed to analyse the implementation of the Card pilot action in the eight participating EU countries, and to assess the Card’s usefulness and cost effectiveness across countries.
