The European Union is opening up its funding landscape not only to member states, but also to non-member countries, organisations and companies from third countries. This book offers a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the EU funding programmes that are specifically open to international partners. From Horizon Europe and LIFE to the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and programmes such as ECHO or the European Space Programme, all the relevant initiatives available to global actors are presented. The focus is on the conditions for participation, strategic objectives and potential of these funding programmes. Find out how third countries, international organisations and NGOs can participate in EU projects to benefit from innovation, partnerships and financial support. Particular attention is paid to programmes that promote international cooperation, for example in the fields of research, climate protection, education, infrastructure and migration. This book is aimed specifically at stakeholders from non-member countries who want to find their way around the world of EU funding. With clear explanations, practical examples and strategic tips, it is an indispensable guide for companies, organisations and decision-makers who want to take advantage of EU opportunities to address global challenges and build sustainable partnerships.
