From education, science, art, culture and sport, to supporting the disadvantaged and disabled, there are many deserving calls within the EU that must deal with limited funding. For decades, funding from national lotteries has been a sustainable and fundamental source of income to support good causes without which European society would be €21 billion poorer every given year.
 
Join us as we discuss:
