EU Funding Goals
We want to use our wide EU project experience from UK as a new Irish partner organisation. Particularly in the fields of job creation, training, supporting communities, entrepreneurship, and environmental initiatives.
Short term we wish to develop a strong network of partners in Ireland as we are new to the country. Most of our EU experience has been from UK previously but we now wish to become better established form our new base in Dublin as well as be introduced to new exciting and innovative partnerships.
Our particular interests are around enterprise and employability as well as sustainable and green solutions for local communities.
Longer term we want to use our new network to link into other project partnerships and learn from partners as well as contribute to new project ideas. We believe we have an innovative and creative team that can proactively contribute to bids and play and positive role in successful partnerships
Strengths
Our particular strengths are around helping to shape and create meaningful projects that have a positive affect on beneficiaries and wider local communities.
We are experienced in the administrative and finance aspects of EU project life and have a strong digital presence with local communities /social media as well as links to the business community.
WSX Europe has a strong network of expertise amongst our staff and also partner/stakeholder organisations. We are very focused on being an active partner, responding quickly to requests, hitting targets, and playing a significant role in project contributions. If the project is helping improve the economic /social conditions in our regions, then we are 100% committed to making a project deliver its goals
