The10th edition of the European Funds Open Days – DOEF – was celebrated across the country from May 12 to 14. This is the largest campaign promoting EU-funded projects in Poland. The celebration is part of a broader campaign – #EUinmyregion – led by the European Commission. It provides a closer look at the variety of projects implemented with the help of EU grants. As part of this year’s campaign, a number of events and activities were organized in every region of the country. In addition to the numerous entertaining concerts, workshops, sports and cultural events that took place last weekend, such an event is above all the best opportunity to see how much we owe to the support of the European Funds.
As we read on the website, managed by the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, 298,548 projects subsidized by European Funds have been implemented in Poland to date. Their total value is more than PLN 1.2 trillion, with EU funding exceeding PLN 0.7 trillion. A list of all projects is available on the European funds page.
