Does that sound really
complicated? If you want to understand the system and the concept behind, look through this explanatory part. |
Direct grants support the common
EU objectives. These include European Union programmes that beneficiaries - normally in partnership - can directly apply for to the EC. Typically you compete on a European (even world-wide) level and sign a contract with the European Commission. |
Indirect grants support normally national / regional objectives. You compete on national/regional
level and individually or in partnership implement your project. Your funding authority will be a ministry or a regional agency. |
Get to know other funds which give grants e.g. EUROSTARS, ERA-NET, EUREKA, Visegrad Fund, or find support outside the EU budget e.g. World Bank, Norwegian Fund, etc. or even find supplementary
sources that are not necessarily grants e.g. EBRD, EIF, EIB. |

The Framework Programme Solidarity and Migration Flows is designed to improve the management of migratory flows in the European Union by fostering common objectives, cooperation and legislation among the Member States. It supports the development of a common return policy and an "integrated return management", including analysing the returnees and the situation in the country of origin and the development of a common immigration policy and a common approach concerning the rights and obligations of immigrants.
Four programmes fall under this Framework Programme, namely:
- European Refugee Fund
- External Borders Fund
- The Integration of Third- Country Nationals (INTI)
- The Return Fund
