Social partners play an important role in shaping policies and legislation at both national and EU level.

EU funds offer various funding opportunities for social partners, including capacity-building projects, training opportunities, awareness-raising activities and the engagement of citizens to discuss EU policies. Such opportunities are spread across  different EU funding programmes, which might make finding relevant opportunities a daunting prospect.

Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta (SEM) can provide support to social partners seeking EU funding for their projects. SEM can assist you in identifying relevant funding opportunities, developing your project idea to be more competitive for funding and to fill in the required application form, also making sure that any relevant attachments have been included in your application form.

Once awarded EU funding, SEM can assist in the implementation of your EU-funded project. This includes support in understanding the terms and conditions tied to the EU grant in question and guidance in abiding by EU principles and legislation during your project, such as data protection and public procurement.

To find out how SEM can assist your organisation to tap into EU funds, please contact SEM on 2200 3300 or info.sem@gov.mt.
