Webinar: How To Access EU Funding Opportunities - 1 December 2017

 

Despite this, many voluntary and community organisations avoid applying for funding because of the complexity and highly competitive nature of the EC grant system. However, by investing time and becoming prepared, it is possible to access EC funds.  

 

This short but useful webinar will provide an overview of the various EC programmes available to the sector while also providing specific information on the ‘Europe for Citizens’ funding scheme which is seeking applications in 2017.

 

Deirdre Finlay joined The Wheel in August 2015 as its dedicated European Programmes Coordinator. A lively facilitator, she provides advice and training to members on EU funding, with a particular focus on the Europe for Citizens Programme for which she is the National Contact Point in Ireland. She also contributes to business development objectives at The Wheel, supporting EU funding applications.
