Analysis of EU investment funds in regional development for the period 2021-2027

European funds are financial instruments for the implementation of individual EU public policies in the Member States. The public policies of the European Union, the Member State and the Candidate Country are the basis for determining the objectives whose achievement will be supported by funding through EU funds. EU funds are European citizens' money, which, in accordance with certain rules and procedures, is allocated to various beneficiaries for the implementation of projects that should contribute to the achievement of the key EU public policies. Among other things, EU funds can finance activities related to investments in infrastructure providing basic services to citizens in the fields of energy, environment, transport and information and communication technologies, as well as investments in social, health and educational infrastructure. In the coming period, EU investment from 2021 to 2027 will focus on five main goals: a smarter Europe, a greener carbon-free Europe, a more connected Europe, a more social Europe and a closer Europe for citizens. The Investments in question will help improve regional development in the EU Member States, with the largest emphasis (as much as 30% of the total EUR 1.135 billion) going to the Nature and Environment framework. Among potential beneficiaries who will be able to use the funds in question are research centers, local and regional authorities, schools, corporations, training centers, state administration, small and medium-sized enterprises, universities, associations are highlighted, and besides these funds will be available to public bodies, some private sector organizations (especially small businesses), NGOs and volunteer organizations. This paper presents an analysis of EU Investment in the period from 2021 to 2027, outlines its financial perspective (with emphasis on the "Nature and Environment" framework) and gives an overview of potential future investments.
