Utrecht, made real.
Utrecht keeps being paid to do one thing more than any other: active and healthy ageing. Here's the rest of its funded life.
Utrecht, identified as NUTS2 region NL31 in the Netherlands, has received €215,883,689 in European funding. This support has been distributed across 583 projects, spanning the period from 2014 to 2025.
The European Union's financial commitment to Utrecht primarily supports research and innovation. Significant funding is directed towards active and healthy ageing initiatives, alongside research and innovation activities and processes within small and medium-sized enterprises. The European Social Fund (ESF) largely supports the ageing projects, while the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) focuses on broader innovation efforts. This investment aims to foster regional development and societal well-being.
Funding for Utrecht has seen a slight increase in recent years. The last three years recorded €110,601,108 in awarded funds, a modest rise compared to the €105,242,607 allocated in the preceding period.
