The most important funding instruments include the Structural Funds, i.e. primarily the Regional Fund (ERDF), the Social Fund (ESF) and the Cohesion Fund. With these, the EU participates in financing investments in companies, in infrastructure, in further education and qualification, in the environment and much more. The Structural Funds offer companies, municipalities, public authorities, educational institutions, associations and clubs a wide range of opportunities to carry out their own projects.
