Access Europe Showcase 2025
Access Europe Showcase 2025
Join us for this flagship in-person event celebrating Access Europe, Ireland’s dedicated EU funding support service for the civil society sector.
Since 2020, Access Europe has empowered hundreds of Irish civil society organisations to explore and secure EU funding opportunities. Thanks to the continued support of the Department of Foreign Affairs, we are thrilled to mark the next chapter of this free, essential service.
What to expect:
- EU Funding Expo: Meet Ireland’s National Contact Points for major EU programmes and learn how your organisation can access new EU funding opportunities
- Success Stories & Impact: Gain inspiration from Irish organisations already using EU funding to deliver real change in their communities
- Networking & Exchange: Connect with your peers in the sector, share experiences, and build partnerships to strengthen your EU funding journey
- #OurEUStory Awards 2025: Celebrate the achievements of inspiring Irish organisations at our annual #OurEUStory Award Ceremony, recognising the transformational impact of EU-funded projects.
