Discover EU Funding Opportunities and Tools

Do you think that you have a good idea that can turn into a European Project? Are you looking for Funding to create a business or to transform your already existing one? If the answer to at least one of the above questions is yes, then you are at the right place at the right moment.

With the launch of the new European funding programmes for the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2021-2027, there are many EU funding opportunities that you wouldn't want to miss out on.

Erasmus+ EU Funding Opportunities

Some of the latest calls for European Funding to become available belong to the new Erasmus+ programme. The Erasmus+ 2021-27 was launched in March and almost double the budget (€26.2 billion) compared to the previous programming period 2014-2020 (€14.7 billion).

With an increased budget and an expanded set of priorities, there are several available EU funding opportunities in:

  • Inclusion and Diversity
  • Digital Transformation
  • Environment and fight against climate change
  • Participation in democratic life

To be eligible to submit a proposal to receive European Funding to implement a European Project, all you need is to find reliable partners and to find an actionable innovative idea. A good idea is necessary to have chances in receiving European Funding, but the good news is that it does not have to be necessarily your own. Here is a tool that can help you find good ideas or to develop your own.

Grow your Ideas through EUcalls Idea Pad

EUcalls is an innovative platform that helps its users find EU Funding opportunities, form new collaborations, and discover new ideas. The Idea Pad is a new addition to the EUcalls platform that set us apart from the competition.

As good ideas are crucial to receiving EU funding, the Idea Pad is essential to finding or developing new ideas with others' help. Idea Pad is easy to use and does not let inspired ideas go to waste as all EUcalls users can communicate their ideas or find the ideas posted by other users. Users can then invite potential partners to work together, request to participate in others' ideas, comment, and exchange opinions.

Using Idea Pad is ideal for finding suitable partners for your consortium and turning your ideas into actions.
