Cultural projects delivering economic & social outputs

The EU Structural Funds exist to support economic development in the less advantaged areas of Europe.

This report documents over 1200 cultural projects supported by the Structural Funds across the UK in the period from 2000-2006, with an investment of over £400m.

This report provides further and extensive evidence of the role of culture in economic and social development and regeneration.

In addition, the report is structured under 10 key “outcomes” which will enable potential applicants to the new Structural Funds (2007-2013) to see how their project ideas might match the emerging criteria for these new programmes.
