About the European Commission:
The European Commission is the EU’s politically independent executive arm. It is alone responsible for drawing up proposals for new European legislation, and it implements the decisions of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU.
The Commission’s work is steered by a College of Commissioners, and led by its President. The Commissioners work on specific policy priorities that are set out by the Commission President. There are a total of six commissions, learn about them here.

Where the European Commission directly manages funding, it does so by awarding grants, launching tendering procedures, etc. This section provides more detailed information on how to apply for funding managed directly by the Commission.
To be eligible for funding, you may need to look for a project partner in other countries.
