I keep seeing the term: EU Structural Funds
I think this could be the corresponding term.

Under the banner of EU Structural Funds, actually several
funds are grouped. These are:

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF),
which aims to reduce the gaps in development between
the Union\'s regions;

The European Social Fund (ESF), which has the task of
improving employment prospects in the Union;

The European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee
Fund (EAGGF), which assists in part-financing national
agricultural aid schemes and in developing and
diversifying the Community\'s rural areas;

The Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG),
which assists in the restructuring of the fisheries sector.

The Structural Funds concentrate their intervention on a
limited number of priorities as follows:
Objective 1: promoting the development and structural
adjustment of regions whose development is lagging behind.

Objective 2: converting regions or parts of regions seriously
affected by industrial decline.

Objective 3: combating long term unemployment and
facilitating the integration into working life of youn people
and of persons exposed to exclusion from the labour market,
promotion of equal employment opportunities for men and
women.

Objective 4: facilitating the adaptation of workers to
industrial changes and to changes in production systems.

Objective 5: promoting rural development by:

Objective 5a: speeding up the adjustment of
agricultural structures in the framework of the
reform of the common agricultural policy and
promoting the modernisation and structural
adjustment of the fisheries sector.

Objective 5b: facilitating the development and
structural adjustment of rural areas.

Objectives 1, 2 and 5b are specifically regional in character;
they involve measures restricted to certain eligible regions or
parts of regions. Objectives 3, 4, and 5a, on the other hand,
cover the whole of the community.
Structural Funds support programmes which have been
developed with national and regional authorities. In some
Member States these include measures that may favour the
financing of innovation, through e.g. the provision of venture
capital. The set-up of such programmes, however, differs
widely.

agree  Eva Blanar: I think this is it: the difference with subsidies is that these are target-oriented (subsidies might be automatically granted, subject to certain conditions).
