Structural Funds: Investing in Roma
As a follow up to the 2008 EU Roma Summit in Brussels and the High Level Events in October 2009, and in the context of the European Year 2010 against poverty and social exclusion, the Commission is organizing a seminar on how to facilitate the use of EU funds to support projects aiming at the integration of the Roma in September in Hungary and a high level event in Romania in October.
The seminar, to be held in Budapest on 15 September 2010, will aim at improving the access to EU funds for the integration of the Roma, by addressing the following issues: better access to information about funding opportunities, improved capacity building for applicants and beneficiaries and sustainable financing framework.
The speakers will be representatives from the Commission, EU funds Managing Authorities, local authorities, Roma minority self governments, NGO active in Roma integration.
The high level event will be held in Romania in October 2010 aiming at the contribution of EU funds to the integration of Roma.
A national event will be organised on 12 and 13 October 2010 in Bucharest, and will be followed by two regional events in Cluj on 14 October 2010 and Iaşi on 20 October 2010.
These events aim at raising awareness about the opportunities offered by EU funds, promoting their use and improving the impact of projects supported by them. They are also part of a process towards a better involvement of the Roma in the implementation of the EU funds operational programmes.
