06/02/2024 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 6 February, the European Commission announced the launch of a new multilingual interactive tool listing all the funding opportunities available at EU level for rural areas. The aim is to make it easier to identify which of the 26 European funds and programmes offer the most suitable opportunities for potential beneficiaries (rural entrepreneurs, local authorities) depending on their characteristics. A search tool enables users to filter existing funding on the basis of several criteria: the type of organisation, the activity envisaged and the type of support sought (grants, loans/guarantees, technical assistance). An interactive map also features case studies illustrating how EU funds have been successfully implemented. Further information: https://aeur.eu/f/aq5 (MB)
