  • The programme focuses on two main pillars: European remembrance and democratic engagement/civic participation.
  • The budget for the 2014-2020 period was reduced to approximately €185.47 million, a significant drop from the previous €215 million.
  • Application success rates are very low; for instance, only about 6% of remembrance projects were funded in 2015.
  • The current lump-sum system does not adequately account for differences in the cost of living across different Member States.
