EU Structural Funds A Last Chance

In the 2000-2006 period, over 1200 cultural projects across the UK received support from the EU Structural Funds - a total of over 600m euro.  Though the total available to the UK has halved for 2007-2013, it is also likely that this is the last time that any significant resources from these funds will be available to the UK.

The seminar will cover ERDF and ESF allocations via Objectives 1 and 2, and will also provide a summary regarding Objective 3 (Interreg IV) and the new priorities for rural regeneration through the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy.

Calls for proposals are shortly to be announced across the UK, with all funds coming on stream by 1 January 2008 at the latest.

This seminar will provide detailed information about the various funds, their allocation mechanisms and criteria, as well as updates on calls for proposals and the application process.  It will also include some case studies from those involved in previously funded projects.

Speakers from across the UK and from Europe will also provide tips to help you access these funds.
