• Funding & Financing

To help achieve its various policy objectives, the European Union provides financial support for activities to be undertaken by organisations, including local and regional authorities, via a number of funding programmes and financial instruments financed through the EU budget.

The current set of programmes will run until 2027 and covers a wide range of areas such as regional and urban development, research and innovation, environment, education and training, support to SMEs and culture. This section attempts to demystify EU funding – in theory, in practical terms and specifically in relation to the options out there.
