New calls for funding for social innovation - topic AI and green skills

28.04.2026

The European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) is funding new training measures for employees in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and green skills . The aim is to support employees from small and medium-sized companies in particular in developing practical skills and strengthening their employability in the long term.

The funding is intended to enable employees to use suitable AI tools and environmentally friendly technologies directly in their own company. Further information on the funding call can be found here.

In addition, another call for funding "AI qualification for employees from the social economy" is aimed specifically at the social economy. Here, additional funding is available for training courses that support employees and decision-makers in using AI responsibly and in a practical way to meet the challenges of skills shortages and digital change.

Further information on funding conditions, deadlines and contacts can be found on the ESF website in Bavaria.
