International Seminar on EU Project Development - Energy & Environment

The European Commission is about to launch a wide range of financial instruments to support the implementation of its policies, such as the “Sixth Environment Action Programme” and the “European
Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy”. Energy and Environment related projects
will be directly financed from Brussells or through the national authorities of the Member States. The
total volume of finances for the 2007-2013 period is significantly higher than during the previous years. At the same time understanding the funding mechanisms is becoming increasingly complex and putting together proposals is also getting more and more difficult. There is now also an increased competition between the 25 EU countries. Proposals will require improved skills and competences from the project proposers.

Europa Media has developed a training programme for those organisations that wish to take advantage
of the new 2007-2013 Energy and Environmentrelated financial instruments. The programme is
structured around two pillars:

> Synthetised information on all the new programmes that is presented in a clear, understandable
format

> Practical advice for project developers based on experiences gained from years of successful EC project development under the current funding schemes.
