Workshop – Use of EU Funds for Social Services Projects for Persons with Disabilities

In the framework of the Helpdesk project, The European Platform for Rehabilitation (EPR) is organising a series of online workshops on the use and access of EU social funds for Social Services Projects for Persons with Disabilities. EPR is delighted to invite you to take part in this second online workshop planned for Tuesday, 19 September, 10:00-13:00.

To register for the workshop please click HERE.

We will send you the agenda and adapted tools from the first workshop after we receive your registration.

This is the second of a series of 3 workshops organised by EPR as part of the Helpdesk project, which aims to make EU funds better accessible for providers of social services. The results of the workshops will feed into a Toolkit and Guidance for Managing Authorities on how they can use the ERDF and ESF+ funds in a more accessible and impactful way for social services including, services for people with disabilities.

In this second online workshop we will look at the adapted tools, templates and guidance developed in response to your feedback from the first workshop, in the 3 main fields of:

1. Project Application Form and Call for Proposals,
2. Project Budget (e.g. usage of Simplified Cost Options),
3. Project Reporting.

In addition, we will look at other areas that may impinge/support increased take up of EU funds for service providers of disabilities services such as: partnership and horizontal principles; selection and evaluation; quality, communication, and follow-up and responsibility. Please help us to shape the agenda by specifying which of these processes is most pertinent to the disabilities sector when you register for the workshop.

We look forward to your participation in the workshop.
