What is FI-Compass?
The Fi-compass web portal offers a wide range of resources for Member States, managing authorities, financial institutions, project leaders and all stakeholders. It provides comprehensive information on the use of financial instruments under the different EU funds jointly delivered with Member States and regions.
Financial instruments co-funded by the European Social Fund Plus are a sustainable and efficient way to invest in the growth and development of people and their skills in order to promote employment and social inclusion goals across the European Union.
Who can participate
Participation in the fi-compass Showcase 2023 is open to all fi-compass stakeholders: managing authorities, intermediate bodies, funds of funds, financial intermediaries, final recipients and any other stakeholders involved in financial instruments under EU shared management (ERDF, EAFRD, ESF+, EMFAF and AMIF).
Submissions will be published gradually on the awards page, and on Fi-Compass’ social media channels, and can be shared via other social networks with the tags @ficompass and #Showcase23.
