Applications

 
Applications for funding can be submitted during calls for project proposals.

Calls are opened regularly, with the publication of terms of reference describing the programme’s expectations in terms of content. The programme will co-finance both small-scale and classic projects.

Applications for small-scale projects will be selected following a one-step procedure. Project proposals can be submitted as of publication of the terms of reference until a pre-defined cut-off date, which marks the deadline for the submission of applications.

Calls for classic projects are open for about two months. Classic projects are selected following a two-step application procedure: in the first step, applicants submit a short version of the application form via the Joint Electronic Monitoring System (Jems). Promising proposals will be invited to submit a detailed application form.

Indicative timeline (3rd cut-off date)

After two rounds of small-scale projects, the programme started a reflection on this new type of projects in view of future calls.

Following the Stuttgart workshop, we decided to postpone the 3rd cut-off date for small-scale projects to 2024. This will allow us to better define the priorities for the next call and improve our support and communication to applicants.
