On-line publicity resources

A number of on-line resources will be added to this site by summer 2008 - for use by Government Offices, Co-financing Organisations, ESF (and match) providers and others publicising ESF activities. These will include key messages and producing participant case studies.

Key messages and key facts about the 2007-2013 ESF programme and new projects should be used, as appropriate, by the Managing Authority, Co-financing Organisations, projects and partners in their information and publicity materials including press notices.
