There are various "pots" of money available from the European Union but most are difficult for individuals to access. Projects that involve the environment, energy or education in its widest sense are most likely to be eligible. Your best option is to contact your local Business Link or "Euro Centre" hosted by your local Chamber of Commerce in the first instance.
