Acquisition of EU funds in the Municipality of Velenje

Slovenija si je z vstopom v Evropsko unijo pridobila tudi pravico do črpanja evropskih sredstev: sredstev iz strukturnih skladov in Kohezijskega sklada. Sredstva so namenjena hitrejšemu razvoju manj razvitih regij Evropske unije. V Evropski uniji so na voljo različna povratna in nepovratna sredstva za podjetja in podjetnike vseh velikosti ter iz različnih sektorjev. Vendar pa je še vedno veliko slovenskih podjetnikov, ki ne vedo, za katere investicije je mogoče pridobiti nepovratna sredstva, kje dobiti potrebne informacije, in kako se lotiti prijave na razpis. Torej, če želijo podjetja in organizacije priti do sofinanciranja svojih projektov, se je potrebno najprej prijaviti na ustrezen razpis. Pisanje projektov ni muha enodnevnica in ima zelo velik pomen pri pridobitvi evropskih sredstev. Za uspeh na razpisu je potreben dovolj dober in inovativno pripravljen projekt, ki vključuje vse kriterije razpisa. Osnovni namen diplomskega dela je bil prikazati celoten postopek pridobivanja evropskih sredstev ter kako pripraviti projekt in dokumentacijo, da bomo prepričali evropsko komisijo. V diplomskem delu je prikazan tudi primer projekta obnove Galerije Velenje ter pridobivanje evropskih sredstev v Sloveniji in Mestni občini Velenje v obdobjih 2007–2013 in 2014–2020.Slovenia\u27s entry into the European Union gained the right to the utilization of European funds: funds from the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund. The funds are intended to speed up the development of the less developed regions of the European Union. In the European Union are available various reentry and grants for businesses and entrepreneurs of all sizes and from different sectors. However, there are still many Slovenian entrepreneurs who don\u27t know for which investment grants can be obtained, where to get the necessary information and how to approach the application of the call. So, if enterprises and organisations want to get co-financing of their projects, it is necessary to first log on to the appropriate call. Writing projects is not easy and has a very large role in the acquisition of European funds. To succeed in the tender it is necessary to have a good and innovative prepared project, which includes all the criteria of the tender. The primary purpose of my thesis was to show the entire process of obtaining European funding and how to prepare the project and documentation, that will persuade the European Commission. The diploma theme is also an example of the project of the reconstruction of the gallery in Velenje and the acquisition of EU funds in Slovenia and in the municipality of Velenje in the periods 2007-2013 and 2014-2020
