European programmes and projects
European funding programmes are key instruments of the European Union’s policy to support growth, innovation, and cohesion among Member States.
The programmes cover a wide range of areas such as research, the environment, digital transition, youth, culture, and many other fields.
Each programme has an allocated multiannual budget according to strategic priorities defined at European level. Among the best known are Opens in new windowHorizon Europe for research, Opens in new windowErasmus+ for education and training, and Opens in new windowERDF or Opens in new windowESF+ for territorial and social development.
This European funding is available to a wide range of stakeholders: businesses, universities, local authorities, NGOs, etc. Accessing it often requires responding to calls for proposals and meeting strict criteria. The European Union ensures that public funds are managed transparently and efficiently. These mechanisms contribute to building a more resilient, competitive, and cohesive Europe. They represent a fantastic opportunity to bring high-impact projects to life, at both the local and European level.
To find out about all the funding programmes available for the period 2021-2027, you can consult the official list on the Opens in new windowEuropean Commission website.
