Public Consultation on EU Funding is open until 6th May
A Public Consultation on the EU’s next MFF (Multiannual Financial Framework) is open until 6th May, 2025. Have your say on EU funding priorities including funding for culture, media and the creative sectors which is under the MFF 'EU funding for competitiveness' section. This consultation covers EU funds supporting cross-border education, training and solidarity, young people, media, culture, and creative sectors, values, and civil society. The decision to cluster issues serves to support the preparatory work and does not pre-empt the architecture of future programmes.
You can take the survey on the EU portal or you can email: SG-MFF-PUBLIC-CONSULTATIONS@ec.europa.eu.
