European Institute for Local Development

A pioneer in Civil Society - Your partner in innovation

Welcome to the European Institute for Local Development

At EILD, we believe that real change begins at the local level—but its impact can reach far beyond borders. Since 2009, we have been dedicated to strengthening regional ecosystems by designing and implementing innovative, human-centered solutions. Through strategic cooperation with organizations, municipalities, and stakeholders across Europe, we address today’s social, environmental, and economic challenges with a future-oriented approach.

With expertise in EU-funded programmes such as Erasmus+, AMIF, Horizon Europe, Interreg, and others, EILD acts as a catalyst for regional transformation and policy innovation. Our team’s extensive experience and diverse background empower us to operate across sectors and scales—delivering measurable impact for communities, vulnerable groups, and the broader European civil society.

We invite you to explore our work and join us in shaping a more inclusive, sustainable, and digitally empowered Europe.
