On 3 March 2026, t33 presented to the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education (CULT Committee) the findings from the recently published study “EU funding instruments for policy fields under the remit of the CULT Committee”. The study was led by Blomeyer & Sanz, as consortium leader, and coordinated by t33. The purpose of this study was to assess how EU funds have been allocated within the remit CULT and provide input for the CULT Committee’s legislative resolutions on the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and proposed programmes. The research involved reviewing 22 different funding mechanisms.

The final report provides (1) a concise overview of all the EU funding instruments in the current 2021-2027 programming period for the relevant policy fields; (2) a summary analysis of key strengths and weaknesses; as well as synergies of current EU funding instruments in the relevant policy fields; (3) a concise overview of all EU funding instruments for Post-2027 MFF (2028-2034 programming period) planned for the relevant policy fields and an analysis of the Commission’s proposals on the Post-2027 MFF funding in the relevant policy fields; and (4) recommendations for EU policy-makers, first and foremost for Members of the European Parliament, on issues potentially within the remit of the CULT Committee to ensure that culture and creative sectors, education, youth and sport policies, and media are adequately and efficiently funded at EU level.
