European MOSAIC - The European Competitiveness Fund Infosheet
The European Commission presented the proposal for the European Union’s (EU) new long-term budget for 2028-2034, aiming for a simpler, more focused EU budget. One of the key changes is the merging of existing programmes into broader, more coherent ones, and the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) is the largest example. It brings together more than a dozen existing funding instruments; among them the Innovation Fund, Digital Europe, EU4Health, InvestEU, the European Defence Fund, the EU Space Programme, the LIFE Programme and the SME strand of the Single Market Programme.

The European Commission presented the proposal for the new European Union (EU) long-term budget (2028-2034), aiming for a simpler, more focused budget. To achieve this, one key change has been the merging of existing programmes into broader, more coherent ones. The AgoraEU Programme is one of these, which merges the previous Creative Europe Programme and the CERV (Citizens, Equalities, Rights and Values) Programme.
European MOSAIC - National and Regional Partnership Plans Infosheet
The new European Union (EU) long-term budget for the 2028–2034 period aims to be more flexible, more efficient, and less bureaucratic. For this reason, the European Commission is proposing to bring together EU funds implemented by EU Member States and regions under a single new instrument, known as the NRPPs. The money is to be spent through one plan, per country: a National and Regional Partnership Plan (NRPP).
European MOSAIC - European Social Fund & the Youth Guarantee Infosheet
The Youth Guarantee is a European employment initiative which holds the promise or ‘guarantee’ that every young person under 30 years of age who is not in education, employment or training should be given a good quality offer within 4 months.
European MOSAIC - Global Europe Instrument Infosheet
The European Commission presented the proposal for the European Union’s (EU) new long-term budget (2028-2034), aiming for a simpler, more flexible budget. To achieve this, one key change has been merging existing programmes into broader, more coherent ones. The Global Europe Instrument is one of them, and merges current funding programmes into one, including: Global Europe (NDICI); the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), the Humanitarian Aid Programme, the Ukraine Facility, the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans, and the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova.
