The Cross-border partnerships and support to cooperation on intra-EU mobility for EEA countries and social partners has been launched recently. Funded under the European Programme for Employment and Social Innovation "EaSI" 2014-2020, it aims to promote workers' intra-EU labour mobility, to boost employment as well as to support the implementation of the EURES Regulation. The EaSI is a European-level funding instrument managed directly by the European Commission with the objective to contribute to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy, by providing support for the Union's objectives in terms of high quality and sustainable employment, guaranteeing adequate and decent social protection, fighting against social exclusion and poverty and improving working conditions.

Indicative budget: EUR 600.000.
Strand 3 "Support to cooperation on intra-EU mobility in the EEA countries” - This strand shall support the implementation of Union law on facilitating intra-EU labour mobility in the EEA countries and shall support the work of the EURES network in the EEA countries. Indicative budget: EUR 353.761.

It is expected to receive EUR 300.000.
