| European Youth Foundation (EYF) The European Youth Foundation (EYF)is a fund established in 1972 by the Council of Europe to provide financial support for European youth activities. Its purpose is to encourage co-operation among young people in Europe by providing financial support to such European youth activities which serve the promotion of peace, understanding and co-operation in a spirit of respect for the Council of Europe's fundamental values such as human rights, democracy, tolerance and solidarity (more ...) | Reminder Reporting An activity and financial report on all EYF-funded projects must be sent two months after the end of the project. You will receive automatic reminders about this. A financial report concerning the total cost of the activity (and not just the EYF grant) is required. See "Payment of the grant and reporting" under Presentation for more details. See How to fill in the report form for information on the new online reporting procedure. The online reporting system is now fully operational. If you click on Project Reports in the left-hand menu, you will find a summary of the EYF-funded projects that have been completed, including contact details. |
This new computerised system, which has been made possible thanks also to the support of the UIC (International Union of Railways), corresponds to the wishes of the Programming Committee on Youth (statutory decision-making body on the allocation of grants) to simplify and make more transparent the EYF's administrative procedures. |
