­­­­­ It is with Europe that Marseilles is developing and confirming its role as an international metropolis and heading Euro-Mediterranean cooperation.

T­o achieve its goals, the team at Marseille Mission Europe, working with the General Secretariat of the City, is taking advantage of the opportunities created by the European Union. Marseille Mission Europe is also actively involved in several development projects – economic, social, cultural and urban.

 

­ Marseille Mission Europe (MME) has four primary missions :

 

• To identify all possible funding for our city, under the European Union’s regional policy. ­Regional Policy 2007-2013, Career Resource Center, The New Start School et Belle de Mai Hub).. The said policy supports, through structural funds ERDF and ESF, action in favour of well-balanced economic and social development across all of the Union’s regions.
   

• To respond to European project bids through community programmes. These make it possible to share expertise, know-how and solutions in the economic, social and environmental fields with other cities across the world. MME works in particular with Mediterranean Basin partners.

• To represent Marseilles in the networks of Europ­ean cities ( Eurocities, Marseilles and the euromed Network of Cities) through which major metropolises can work together on cooperation programmes and share their experiences. Marseilles actively positions itself in a number of these networks, to identify partnerships, put together projects or carry out lobbying initiatives with the European Commission.
   

• ­To assert the role of the Euro-Mediterranean metropolis­ by developing dialogue and cooperation between cities on both sides of the Mediterranean. ­ ­
