SUMMARY:Online study session: Preventing institutionalisation through EU Funding – the role of the new MFF
DESCRIPTION:Online study session: Preventing institutionalisation through EU Funding – the role of the new Multiannual Financial Framework\nAs part of the European Expert Group on the transition from institutional to community-based living (EEG)\, we are pleased to invite you to our annual Study session: Preventing institutionalisation through EU Funding – the role of the new MFF. \nThe event will take place online on 17 June 2025\, from 14:00 to 16:00 CET. \nYou can register here. \nDespite long-standing commitments\, over 1.5 million people in Europe remain in institutions\, often due to the lack of accessible\, community-based services and preventative support for families. While EU funds have supported major progress in some countries—such as closing institutions and developing personal assistance and housing services—challenges persist. In some cases\, EU funding has even contributed to maintaining institutional settings. \nThe study session will focus on three key areas: \n\nmisuse of EU funds that have prolonged institutional care\,\npositive national practices in redirecting funding toward independent living (with a case from Bulgaria)\,\nand the need for strong monitoring systems to track the use and impact of EU investments.\n\nThe aim of this study session is to discuss how EU funding under the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) can better support the transition to community-based care for persons with disabilities\, children\, and people experiencing homelessness—ensuring that reforms are rights-based\, data-driven\, and aligned with EU policy commitments such as the Guidance on Independent Living and the European Child Guarantee. It aims to bring together EU and national policy-makers\, managing authorities\, civil society organisations\, service providers\, and people with lived experience to explore how EU funding can be used more effectively to prevent institutionalisation and support inclusive living. \nSee the full programme here and further information on the EEG’s website.
