To Brexit or not to Brexit?

28 October 2016

To Brexit or not to Brexit….

Following on from the result of the EU Referendum, Treasury has recently announced that projects can be funded up until the time when the UK leaves the EU. This is welcome news for SEMLEP and its communities who can look forward to continued support from the European Social Fund, European Regional Development Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development beyond 2016.  More news of future calls to come!

Forthcoming Calls:

The second round of ESF Community Grants calls will open on 7 November and close on 28 November.  Briefing events will be held on 10 November at Milton Keynes and Luton.  To book your place at one of these events please e-mail comm.grant.apply@futuresadvice.co.uk; for further information visits www.futuresadvice.co.uk and www.semlep.com/esif.

SEMLEP is hoping two further ESF open calls will be released in November 2016. Just over £400k of ESF will be available to support the workforce develop their skills and over £1m available to support SMEs engaging with the skills agenda.  For these projects, applicants will need to source 50% of total project costs.  Further information will be released on our website as soon as available.

It is expected that further work on scoping of EAFRD, ERFD and ESF calls will begin in earnest soon after the Autumn Statement due on 23 November.

Events on the horizon

The SEMLEP ESIF Team is in the process of organising four ESF events in November (21,22, 28 and 29) around the SEMLEP Area.   These events will be followed by surgeries for organisations planning to apply. Eventbrite invitation with further details will be sent in due course
