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. |
