Implementing Multiple Funds in 2024 (inc. Closure 2014-20 Update)

Delivering a greener, digital and more resilient and inclusive EU is proving to be challenging, perhaps even more than expected. Extraordinary budgets have been made available to MS in different forms and Funds over the past two years. Apart from the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-27 providing funds for Cohesion Policy, rural development and migration and border management, MS are also implementing their NRRPs under the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

-    But how much can be achieved in the wake of political unrest, inflationary and supply-chain pressures?

-    What does multi-fund implementation mean for Managing Authorities, Intermediate Bodies, Audit Authorities and all the other related units responsible for the management, control and audit?

-    What are the risks of the new rulebooks and the concurrent implementation of multiple projects which are financed from different funds?

-    What are the new, added pressures on the current workforce making up our restrictive pool of administrative capacities?

-    Are we equipped to handle so many funds at a go?

-    What tools do we have to provide quick, feasible solutions?

These and other questions will be addressed in this five-day seminar aimed at making sense out of the current situation. We start off by addressing the latest developments in the area of simplification of programmes, the management of the project pipeline and the implementation of projects (including simplified cost options and financing not linked to costs).

Target audience

EU institutions, Managing Authorities, First Level of Control Bodies, Intermediate Bodies, Certifying Authorities, Audit Authorities, Central Coordination Bodies, Methodology Departments, Central or Regional Ministries/Departments/Entities.
