VNG International’s Service Bureau Europe offers a variety of client friendly services opening up European opportunities for local governments within the EU. The focus of our work is threefold:

• we guide municipalities to the relevant European instruments;
• we assist them in seizing the relevant opportunities through the successful implementation of these instruments;
• we increase the awareness of the added value of Europe for municipality’s local practices.

Our services include news bulletins, subsidy guides, a handbook on subsidy application, online databases on European networks and best practices, seminars, workshops, study tours and consultancy on European project development, application and management.
