Regional Office in Brussels: Keeping You Informed, Offering Guidance and Providing Support!
EU funding calls, news from Brussels and meetings with experts. The Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region Regional Office in Brussels regularly informs institutions, businesses and organisations across the region about opportunities offered by the European Union and supports them in taking advantage of these opportunities. The latest update of its guide to funding calls under centrally managed EU programmes has just been distributed to interested parties. Entrepreneurs also receive a newsletter featuring the most important news from Brussels, while regular webinars provide opportunities to ask experts questions.
Programmes managed directly by the European Commission offer an additional source of funding alongside regional and national funds. However, keeping track of all available calls for proposals can be challenging. The Regional Office therefore analyses and selects funding opportunities that may be of interest to organisations and institutions in the region and distributes them in the form of a guide containing descriptions, deadlines, funding amounts and links to relevant documentation.
The latest update includes nearly 60 new calls for proposals covering innovation and research, health, energy and the environment, cybersecurity, culture and media, and agriculture. Among them is the SPLOT Values funding call, under which non-governmental organisations, including Rural Housewives’ Associations and Volunteer Fire Brigades, can apply until 28 December for grants ranging from EUR 10,000 to EUR 15,000 for projects protecting and promoting fundamental rights and EU values.
Entrepreneurs may also be interested in the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs funding call, which offers EUR 60,000 for a six-month feasibility study assessing whether an innovative product or service has potential in markets outside Europe.
Local governments, meanwhile, should pay particular attention to the European City Facility funding call. Municipalities and cities can receive approximately EUR 60,000 to develop investment concepts in sustainable energy, such as improving the energy efficiency of buildings, modernising district heating networks, developing renewable energy sources or upgrading street lighting. Applications are open until 21 December 2026.
The guide is available free of charge. All organisations and institutions in the voivodeship interested in receiving it are invited to contact the Regional Office at bruksela@kujawsko-pomorskie.pl.
As part of its activities, the Regional Office in Brussels also publishes a monthly newsletter aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It presents the latest legislative initiatives, decisions and regulatory developments at the European Commission and European Parliament. The newsletter also provides information about upcoming events in Brussels, including webinars, conferences, trade fairs and business meetings that may be of interest and value to entrepreneurs.
At the same time, the Regional Office organises a series of webinars for entrepreneurs from the voivodeship. Their purpose is to explain issues related to European legislation, clarify how new EU regulations affect business operations, and present specific EU programmes, funding instruments and initiatives that entrepreneurs can benefit from in practice.
The next webinar will take place on 3 December and will focus on the Digital Omnibus initiative. The session will discuss proposed simplifications to European digital regulations, their significance for the SME sector and their potential practical implications for entrepreneurs. The aim of the meeting will be not only to outline the initiative’s key proposals but, above all, to explain how the planned changes may affect the day-to-day operations of businesses.
