• Capacities: support for research capacities and<br />
infrastructure;<br />
• Nuclear Research, including fusion energy research<br />

EUROPEAN GLOBALISATION<br />
ADJUSTMENT FUND<br />
This is a fund which may be available to a Member State<br />
which is faced with sudden redundancies caused by changing<br />
global trade patterns. The Member State may ask for funding<br />
to help workers who have been made redundant to reintegrate<br />
into the labour market. The funds may be used to help with<br />
finding another job or retraining.<br />
