The functions of the agency reflect its mission, namely to serve as a gateway to EU funds in Malta and Gozo, making it easier for citizens and organisations to reap the benefits of EU membership through EU funds. SEM hosts an EU-information centre – Europe Direct Valletta – supported by the European Commission to engage with citizens on EU-related topics at local and regional level, with the mission to provide EU citizens with information about the EU, referring them to specialised information services and signposting to other services and networks. SEM also promotes EU careers in Malta and assists those interested in pursuing a career with the EU institutions, agencies and bodies. At SEM we are committed to inform individuals and organisations about the latest EU funding opportunities and of the benefits of EU funds to Maltese society, assist in the submission of competitive project applications, and support successful applicants in implementing their projects.
