The European Programmes Partnership Forum (2014-2020)




The European Programmes Partnership Forum (2014-2020) has been established to discuss the development of any future European funding programmes in Wales.

The EPPF provides advice and guidance to Welsh Government Ministers on options and proposals for future European programmes in Wales.  Members of the EPPF are expected to consult and communicate with their constituencies to broaden discussion and share information.  The Forum meets quarterly.
