One of the missions of the European Defence Agency (EDA) is to promote synergies with wider EU policies, including with a view to reinforcing the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base. In this regard, EDA initiated activities to facilitate the access to European Structural Funds for defence actors.
Main objective of this Handbook is to bring all necessary technical support to project holders, focusing especially on Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), to get access to European Structural Funds in the 2014-2020 financial framework.
