EU Funding in Wales

This project focuses on the eligibility simulation of EU funding in Wales, with a particular emphasis on the West Wales and the Valleys region. The aim is to promote a confident, ambitious, and entrepreneurial Wales that prospers through sustainable economic growth. Key areas of focus include SME competitiveness, infrastructure development, research and innovation, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and supporting education, skills, and lifelong learning. The project also aims to reduce early school leaving, increase the percentage of higher education graduates, and promote learning mobility and policy support. Additionally, the project aims to strengthen European territorial cooperation through initiatives such as cross-border partnerships, transnational collaborations, and inter-regional efforts. The overall goal is to create a low-carbon economy, address societal challenges, and invest in education, skills, and employment opportunities.
