Funding guide available on CORDIS This practical funding guide was conceived in order to help potential beneficiaries of our programmes find their way through the three funding instruments – Cohesion policy which is funded through the Structural Funds and Cohesion Fund; the Research Framework Programme and the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme – and identify the most appropriate funding scheme for them.
