EU funds for regional scholarship schemes
Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy, acting as the Managing Authority for EU Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund, approved the Call for proposals to implement regional scholarship schemes for the school/academic year 2014/2015. The value of the Call for proposals for 2014 and 2015 amounts to 1,000,000.00 euros of which the European Social Fund contribution amounts to 85 % of the abovementioned value, i.e. 850,000.00.
The aim of the Call for proposals is to co-finance company scholarships in the framework of regional scholarship schemes with the latter being implemented by regional development agencies or other legal entities, which are part of the regional development network, namely in the school/academic year 2014/2015. The Call for proposals will co-finance company scholarships which will provide employers, who meet certain conditions, with the adequately qualified staff to ensure the transfer of new knowledge and technologies to accelerate product and service development. Emphasis will be given to programmes focusing on the implementation of regional scholarship schemes which are based on the partnership between employers, beneficiaries and the state.
For more information please contact the Ministry of Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, which acts as the Intermediate Body responsible for the implementation of Call for proposals.
