Czech entrepreneurs learned about another source of European money for their projects

Another regular seminar organized by the Eurocentre Prague took place on Thursday, 30 May and this time, it focused on the EU funds providing financial support for projects in third – chiefly developing – countries. The aim of the seminar was to increase awareness about the existence of these funds among companies, NGOs and research centres and to draw attention to the fact that besides the structural funds, there are also other possibilities of project funding.

The so called instruments for external assistance were introduced by Petra Reimer Postlerová from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In her presentation, Ms Reimer Postlerová firstly explained what funds were available and then she focused on procedural issues related to applications. In the end, she clarified how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Czech embassies abroad can help the applicants during the process.
