Is EU Funding for Me? The Bite-Sized Basics to Getting Started
There is a wealth of opportunities at EU level for Irish community & voluntary organisations. However, with so many opportunities available and so much information out there, it can be hard to know where to start. This event will provide a clear overview of the characteristics of EU funded projects and help you determine if EU funding is the right fit for your organisation’s activities.
During the event, we will cover:
- An introduction to EU funding, its key features and requirements, to help you understand how EU funding operates
- An overview of beginner-friendly EU funding programmes suited for your organisation
- Real-life success stories from Irish projects that have benefited from EU funding
- Practical tips and a step-by-step guide to help you begin applying for EU funding
- A chance to ask your questions and clarify any doubts you may have about EU funding.
