Introduction to EU Structural and Investment Funds programme 2014-20 – Post event page

Organised by One East Midlands ERDF Reach & Impact project, this workshop, which took place in Wellingborough on Tuesday 16 September, provided a basic introduction and clear overview of the role of local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) and the structure of the next EU Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) programme.

The workshop provided a basic level of understanding for small VCS organisations that hadn’t accessed this funding before and would be interested in potentially applying for funding when the programme opens or influencing how investments are made locally.
