The project will provide financial support for the implementation of the activities of Regional Information Center — Shumen, which includes: informing visitors of the Information Centre about funding opportunities for their ESIF ideas and projects; organisation of information events, seminars, trainings, conferences, exhibitions, meetings and media work; collecting and disseminating information and promoting good practices in relation to ESIF; development and dissemination of information material (printed, audio-visual and electronic) on ESIFs and programmes prepared by the Shumen AIC or provided by the MA, the CCZ, and the CEC; cooperation with managing authorities/intermediate units of operational programmes and working with national, regional media and other EU information networks in relation to the performance of the functions of the AIC. The implementation of the project will build on the knowledge achieved so far about the European funds and programmes in Shumen region and will achieve maximum transparency and publicity in the implementation of the programmes financed by the ESIF. The Centre will provide up-to-date, expert and free information on the possibilities for financial support with ESIF funds. The AIC will work on a one-stop-shop basis and will actively work with local administration and other institutions to raise citizens’ awareness of the opportunities offered through the ESIF.
