Project Description
An eco-system of supports in EU funding has been established for arts, culture, digital, creative entrepreneurship and urban innovation, comprising key agencies and organisations who provide support, development, policy and knowledge in EU funding.
The Eco-system of EU Supports allows key agencies and organisations to share learnings, advice, contacts and networks, partnerships, training opportunities and policy updates to further increase the number of applications for EU funding being progressed from Galway.
Currently the eco-system is comprised of 22 members including Galway Chamber of Commerce, University of Galway, Atlantic Technological University, Western Development Commission, Galway City and County Councils, CREW, Galway Technology Centre, PorterShed, Galway Roscommon Education Board, Udaras Na Gaelthacta, University of Galway, TG4 and many others.
The first meeting of the Eco-system of EU Supports took place on the 3rd October, 2022.
22 people from a range of agencies joined the workshop aimed at establishing the eco-system, mapping of work, enhancing collaboration and creating greater awareness amongst agencies as to what funds can be applied for and when.
