The European Union Programmes here listed are programmes funded by the European Commission related to areas of interest for Trade Unions.
The Programmes have a length of years, but the use of them is always through a Call for proposals launched by the European Commission.
In the section "European Union Open Calls for Proposals" you can find the list of available calls.
The European Union Budget Lines here listed are also related to actions of education and training in different areas of interest to Trade Unions, but every year the budget lines proposed by the Commission are voted by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. So their amount and contents is not fixed in advance.
For each budget line we are seeking to provide a brief introduction produced by the Education department, together with the Commission's own description of the line, calls for proposals, guidelines and applications forms.
Please note that the application forms are original European Commission documents and that, once completed, they have to be returned to the EC Directorate General charged with managing and administering the proposals presented.
You can overview the Guide to Information on EU funding, which gives preliminary information about the financial aid available from the European Union. The Guide also gives access to the financial regulations, which set out the rules in force regarding grants for applicants and beneficiaries and to the implementation of financial regulation.
For each area, whereas available, we provide the link with the political position of ETUC.
