Kohesio: discover EU projects in your region

Did you know that you can find out which projects have been funded by the European Union in your community? Kohesio is a digital platform that provides easy and visual access to thousands of initiatives funded by the European cohesion policy.

Through an interactive map and a keyword search engine, anyone can explore projects related to employment, innovation, environment, infrastructure or social inclusion, among many other areas.

This tool brings together information on national and regional programmes financed by the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Social Fund, as well as territorial cooperation programmes such as INTERREG. 

Kohesio highlights the concrete impact of cohesion policy, which aims to reduce inequalities between territories and move towards a greener, more digital and cohesive Europe.

Youth4Regions: an opportunity for young journalists who want to tell Europe

We invite you to discover a unique opportunity if you are interested in journalism and want to know how the European Union transforms the regions.

 Youth4Regions is the European Commission’s programme that supports students and young journalists by offering them a unique experience: a week-long training in Brussels, mentoring by professional journalists and the opportunity to cover topics linked to EU cohesion policy.

Each year, those selected travel to the European capital during the “Week of the Regions” to participate in workshops, visits to institutions and meetings with experts. In addition, the best entries are eligible for prizes and career opportunities. It is an initiative designed for those who want to tell stories that matter and discover the role of the EU in their immediate environment.
