This section briefly introduces how EU-funding Programmes and Projects are managed, the management frameworks used, and their complementarity with the EUPM² Guide.
The European Union (EU) provides various grants and funding schemes to support the development of different sectors and regions within the EU. These grants and funding schemes support specific policy areas and initiatives, such as research and innovation, education and training, environment and energy, and regional development. The European Commission, its Executive Agencies, and the member states’ national and regional administrations manage EU funds using different management modes.
