Nottingham’s engagement with the European Union (EU) has been an active one for many years.  The concept of regionalism developed by the EU has raised our profile by making Nottingham the de facto capital of the East Midlands.

Involvement in Europe wide networks such as Eurocities has led to closer ties with many European cities and the  sharing of ideas and best practice. Schools and young people also get involved in exchange visits which broaden outlooks and create lasting personal links between Nottingham people and those on the continent.

European funds have provided millions of pounds to the city in recent years. This has supported such projects as the tram and the Ice Centre, the restoration of the Elizabethan Wollaton Hall and develop numerous training and business support projects.  Current European funded projects that Nottingham City Council is involved in can be found at the link on the side of this page.
