What are EU funds?

When talking about European funds, we refer to the financial resources available through programmes and initiatives established by the European Union (EU). These funds are intended to support projects and actions that promote economic, social and territorial development in EU member countries and regions. Their main objective is to improve the quality of life of European citizens, strengthen social and territorial cohesion, as well as promote innovation and sustainability in different sectors. European funds are managed and distributed according to criteria established by the EU and can be used by public, private and non-profit organisations to implement initiatives that respond to local and regional priorities and needs.
