![Novinka Novinka](/media/lv0hxllu/linkedin-banner-1600x600_22.jpg)
There are several European funding programmes that are directly managed by the European Commission.
They account for around 20% of the EU budget 2021-2027. In this direct management, the European Commission is responsible for all steps in a programme's implementation: launching the calls for proposals, evaluating submitted proposals, signing grant agreements, monitoring project implementation, assessing the results, and making payments. These tasks are carried out by the Commission's departments, at its headquarters, in the EU delegations or through EU executive agencies; there are no third parties. Calls for proposals under direct management are published on the Funding and Tenders Portal.
Relevant direct management funds for clusters include:
- HORIZON Europe
- Single Market Programme
- Digital Europe Programme
- Innovation Fund
- EU4Health Programme
- Programme for the Environment and Climate Action (LIFE)
- Creative Europe Programme
- European Defence Fund
- ERASMUS+
