PRACTICAL SEMINAR
Financing Health Actions Through EU Funding
There is More European Funding Available for Health Actions than
Ever Before
The success of health actions mainly depends on an effective funding and a good
financial management. In the current programming period 2014 - 2020, the health
focus is present through funding instruments such as ERDF & ESF (ESIF), HORIZON
2020 (H2020) and the EU Health Programme. The multitude of funding and financial
instruments for health actions makes it difficult to obtain a comprehensive overview
that highlights the differences between the funding options. Particularly the question
of correct procurement creates high levels of insecurity. Especially regarding the
current demographic development, investments in active and healthy aging become
more important to adapt the living conditions in Europe to the needs of the populations.
Therefore investments and innovation in the ‘Silver Economy’ are more and more
likely to receive funding by the European Union. Above all, projects that engage health
workforce, active and healthy ageing, health at the workplace, cost-effectiveness and
sustainable care, health infrastructure, access to healthcare and the reduction of health
inequalities, innovations for health solution, e-Health and telemedicine, cross-border
care and cooperation between Member States and the education of health professionals
are in the focus of the European funds.
However, applying successfully for European funds needs a thoughtful preparation and
specific know-how. Nevertheless, in order to promote health through the EU Health
Programme, to fund Actions investing in the health infrastructure with ERDF, to train your
staff with ESF or developing new technologies with H2020, it is worth to spend time on
an application. All these programmes offer great possibilities for cooperations between
SMEs, administrators, researchers and health institutions, if they are handled correctly.
In addition these funds provide the much needed investment capital for investments at
the tip of new developments – from social services to cutting edge research.
Know how to Apply for EU Health Programme, H2020, and ESI
Funds Effectively
Practitioners from the public, private and research sectors as well as SMEs are
confronted with a range of challenges when applying for European funds. Thorough
knowledge of where to get funding and financial instruments and how to comply with
all obligations that need to be fulfilled for a proper application is key to success. Being
aware of the characteristics of high quality proposals further strengthens the position
of prospective beneficiaries. Finally, correct application of procurement law will assure
your funding will be granted as well as protect you from financial claims by the European
Commission.
During the course of the project, there are further administrative requirements that have
to be followed: Eligibility of costs, performance indicators as well as reporting obligations
are always difficult to assess for Project Leaders and Administrators. However, a
profound knowledge of these requirements is crucial to avoid a recovery of grants.
Therefore, take the opportunity at our European seminar to receive first-hand information
from experienced practitioners in the field. Network with health and funding experts
from all Member States and learn from best practice examples to manage successful
health actions and to make full use of available EU funding.
