Innovative Approaches Tackling Long-Term Unemployment

This is a Call for proposals for EU grants tackling Long-Term Unemployment under the European Social Fund+ (ESF+) Social Innovation+ (SI+) initiative. The aim of this Call is to transfer or scale up proven and promising social innovations aimed at the integration of the long-term unemployed into the labour market and fostering their social inclusion.

With an indicative grant budget of 23 million EUR, the transnational projects should focus on: 

cooperation with local employment stakeholders and partnerships between local employers and communities,
improving the outreach of long-term unemployed people, including those facing the most barriers,
providing an individualised, accessible, and inclusive approach to long-term unemployed people.
