The document summarizes the Europe 2020 strategy and key EU funding programmes for 2014-2020. The Europe 2020 strategy has five headline targets for employment, R&D, climate change and energy, education, and poverty reduction. Major funding programmes include Horizon 2020 for research, Erasmus+ for education and job skills, and structural funds distributed to EU regions based on economic needs. Cohesion policy allocates over half of structural funds to less developed regions. Other programmes support sustainable growth, global development, security and citizenship, and EU administration.

strengthening its position in science and its industrial leadership in innovation by
providing major investment in key technologies, greater access to capital and
support for SMEs.
The programme aims at tackling societal challenges by helping to bridge the gap
between research and the market. Horizon 2020 is designed to be a different kind
of EU research programme - funding the entire value creation chain from
fundamental research through to market innovation, and with drastically less red
tape.

ERDF and ESF budget is divided according the regional per capita GDP of the EU

Transition regions are those regions whose GDP is between 75 % and 90 % of
the EU average and receive € 35.701,31 million (current prices)
More developed regions are the European regions whose GDP is above 90 %
of the EU average and receive € 55.780,14 million (current prices)
The cohesion fund is particularly addressed to the Member states whose total

economic and social shortfall, as well as stabilising the economy of these
Member States which receives € 74.928,36 million

15. Territorial cooperation

Actually these programmes are under negotiations among the Member states
and the involved Regions.

24. How to get funded? Few suggestions
Focusing on:
Where is the managing Authority?
Which are the elegibility conditions?
How does it work the partnership principle?
How much do we have to co-finance (in-kind or
cash)?
How to prepare a proposal?
There is enough value for EU money?
Who is the topic champion?

25. Managing authorities
Bruxelles based programmes:
mostly EU programmes are based at the EU Commission DGs and
managed by them or by their executive agencies
Regional or national management:
the most part of the cohesion policy is managed at local level (national
or, mainly, regional) through local managing authorities and Regional
or national operational programmes
Transnational or cross bordes authorities:
Territorial cooperation, IPA and ENI are managed by transnational
managing Authority created by the Member states for this task with a
specific OP to manage the programme
EU delegations:
DCI and bilateral programmes are “supported” by the EU delegations

26. Elegibility
The elegibility conditions are always in the call (look carefully at it!):
Territories
Check the area of the programme – not all the programmes are for all the
EU member states and often they are accessible also outside the EU
Elegible bodies
Public or private? Profit or not for profit? Business or NGOs?
Financial and/or technical conditions
Skills - Track record - Financial affordability
Partnership
All EU Bruxelles based programme and the cooperation strands ask for a
certain number of EU partners to be eligible at submitting a proposal

27. Do I have to pay for it?
There are very few EU programmes which co-fund entirely
your projects.
Usually the EU cofunding for Bruxelles based programmes is
between 50% and 80%.
For the cohesion policy the cofunding is asked from the
Member states or the Regions so the final applicant can get
often 100%
Check out if the cofunding can be in kind (services or people
already paid by you dedicated to the project for some
time)or it must be in cash

29. Value for money and track record
Do you think is it worth to give you the money for
your project?
Would you put your money in it?
Are you able to explain it to a non specialist?
Who is the champion of the Programme (also in
the previous EU periods)?
Go with who is better than you and pay him for
this!!!
