Public Consultation on EU Funding is open until 6th May 2025

In 2025, the Commission will put forward comprehensive proposals for the post-2027 MFF and for the next generation of financial programmes. The Commission is working towards a focused, simpler, and more impactful EU budget that reflects the EU’s strategic priorities, with the ambition to be an ‘investment Commission.'

This consultation covers EU funds supporting cross-border education, training and solidarity, young people, media, culture, and creative sectors, values, and civil society. The decision to cluster issues serves to support the preparatory work and does not pre-empt the architecture of future programmes.

This consultation is part of the overall public consultation exercise on the next MFF. Related public consultations open for feedback can be found via links below:
