Frequently asked questions
What EU funds are available for education and teaching in 2026?
We are tracking 3 open or announced programmes whose CAEN list includes activities from section P: North-East Regional Programme 2021-2027 — Investments for the modernisation of micro-enterprises, Call 2 (PR/NE/2026/P1/RSO1.3/2/1); TechUp România — state aid for research and production in advanced technologies (HG 643/2026); Regional Participation Fund (FPR) — IDB loans with a 40% grant for SMEs in the North-East, South-East and Bucharest-Ilfov. In addition, 17 programmes are open to any sector.
Which CAEN codes fall under section P?
Section P ("Education") covers CAEN divisions 85. The guides give the eligible list by class (4 digits), so your business's exact code matters.
How many active businesses are there in education and teaching?
17,235 active businesses have their main CAEN code in section P; 9,396 had employees in their latest financial statements and 2,014 were established in the last two years.
Does it matter whether the CAEN code is primary or secondary?
It depends on the guide: some programmes require the funded activity to be the main code, while others accept a secondary code authorised at the investment location. Companies now hold codes under CAEN revision 2 or 3; the lists here include the equivalences between the two revisions.
Is your business in education and teaching?
We check your company's CAEN codes against the lists of open programmes and tell you where you fit — free of charge, before any contract.
