A review of videos providing information and insight into major European programs and other issues.
The European Commission’s streaming service
Some time ago we provided a review of the main video channels of the Commission and other EU institutions, a useful source of information and insight. We jointly inaugurated the section of our Guide devoted, precisely, to videos and training.
In the aftermath of the launch of major European programs and many of the calls for proposals for the second year of the new programming, we offer a review of in-depth videos taken from thematic info-days in recent months and other events and opportunities for exchange and presentation.
We organize them by program and category, making the material on the streaming portal of the European Commission, which is not always easy to consult. The most important videos are also made available on our dedicated page .
European programs – the presentation events
We have already given visibility to some presentation and in-depth events related to the Cohesion Policy and Structural Funds. , at the European Info Days e Italian of Horizon Europe and related video resources. Those of a more general nature are taken up in the appropriate section of the Guide and cover the Erasmus+, Horizon Europe and LIFE programs.
The time has come to expand the offer to a number of other important European programs. In some cases (you can tell by the title) the events are focused on a particular annual call. Since these are European events, the videos are mainly in English.
