There are some general rules that apply regarding application for EU funds. The EU will not fund a project that would have gone ahead anyway if the EU finance had not been available. However, the EU never finances 100% of a project, but it will finance substantial amounts. Furthermore, those involved in the application and implementation of a project cannot benefit financially from it.
A number of different actors can apply for EU financing. Have a look at this page to see who can apply.
- Can private actors apply?
- Can public bodies apply?
- Can NGOs apply?
