MDIEU was the Dutch temporary scheme for sustainable employability and earlier retirement. The company subsidy supported activities connected with sustainable employability.[1]
Company applications are closed. The final application period ran from 23 September to 18 October 2024. Use this page for historical company-subsidy context and official project information.[1]
What the company subsidy covered
The official guidance described healthy and safe work, good employment practices, lifelong development and labour mobility, and employee awareness and career direction.[1]
The scheme's categories do not establish that a particular software purchase was eligible. Eligibility depended on the relevant rules and approved project.
Check the official project information
The official website now provides information for recipients and project settlement. Follow the guidance that applies to the particular grant and contact the administrator with questions.[2]
- 01
Identify the award
Find the award documents and approved activity plan for the project you are reviewing. Keep them with the questions you need answered.
- 02
Check the applicable instructions
Use the official project pages and the documents for that award. Do not infer your own deadline from another company’s example.
- 03
Resolve an unclear point
Contact the administrator with the relevant project reference and question. Avoid making a budget or eligibility assumption while the answer remains unconfirmed.
Define the work before looking for funding
Describe the employee need, activities, owner and proposed costs. Keep any funding assumption separate until the relevant scheme and project eligibility have been checked.
The sustainable employability guide explores onboarding, learning and ongoing support. Those decisions can be discussed without presenting an expired grant as a current offer.
Keep the historical status clear
If you are reviewing an older project, use its award documents and the administrator's current instructions. A historical explanation cannot determine the obligations of a particular recipient.
For a new project, verify the availability and terms of any other scheme directly with its administrator before making a budget commitment.
