Support social services in accessing and using EU funds (ESF+ and ERDF in particular)
Help managing authorities use EU funds to finance quality interventions in the field of social services.
On this website, you will find information on how to access EU funds, as well as the outputs created by the project, such as a Massive Open Online Course. Here you can find more information about the project.
