We are very pleased to announce the ‘fi-compass Showcase 2019’.
This campaign designed by FI-Compass aims to collect and publish stories about ESIF financial instruments and the projects they finance in different Member States on the fi-compass Country Pages and on social media channels. The idea is to help you share with the rest of the world your success stories and your experiences.
Who can participate and what should be the story about?
The participation in the ‘fi-compass Showcase 2019’ is open to all. Anyone with a story to share is welcome to contribute. They want to hear from managing authorities, intermediate bodies, fund of funds, financial intermediaries, final recipients and any other stakeholders involved in financial instruments under all types of ESI Funds (ERDF, CF, ESF, EAFRD and EMFF).
The story can address the financial instrument’s objectives, its implementation process and/or its results, for instance by describing one or Manchester's Citylabsmore projects supported by the instrument. Your input can include short interviews with involved parties, presenting their perspective and contributions to make the financial instrument work.
The inputs do not need to be in the quality of a Hollywood blockbuster or an academic paper. They especially welcome spontaneous videos recorded directly by you, e.g. with your own mobile phone.
What types of stories can you submit?
You are invited to submit your story in one or more of the following ways:
- Financial instrument illustration ;
- A short video story of ca. 1-5 minutes length, in mov., mp4 or another common video format, recorded by you for instance with your own mobile phone;
- A photo story with ca. 3-10 pictures. The photographs should be in high-resolution; with a description (max. 100 words each) explaining what each picture is showing. The pictures should be put in the order of the story;
- A short article of up to 500 words. The article should be supported by at least 1 photograph (high-resolution; with a title each, explaining what the picture is showing) and/or further promotional materials such as for example a brochure about the ESIF financial instrument;
- A presentation of up to 10 slides. This can be a pdf file, including text information about the financial instrument as well as pictures;
- An infographic or poster.
The stories should be submitted in English or in your national language, with English translation/subtitles.
Until when can you submit your stories?
The deadline for submission of inputs is Thursday, 31 October 2019. We encourage you to submit your story as soon as possible. The publication of the stories will start sooner than the end of this deadline.
