EU Legislative Interests

We are working on and interested in the following projects and instruments of the European Executive Agencies: Programme "EU4Health", Programme „Digitale Europe Programme“, „Connecting Europe Facility“ (e.g. infrastructure), "Horizon Europe": Pillar II, Cluster 2: Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society, Cluster 4: Digitalization; "Creative Europe", "Erasmus+", "Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme", "Innovation Fund". We're also interested in the field of professional orientation (European Skills Agenda und NextGenerationEU) and we are supporting the Pact for Skills, because we are convinced, that it is important that young people internalize the concept of lifelong learning (Reskilling und Upskilling).
