Calls for proposals
We fund cooperation projects through calls
for proposals. Find out about open and upcoming opportunities and learn about past calls.
Timeline of calls
Our calls for proposals are open invitations to submit project ideas to our funding programme.
We will launch a series of calls between 2021 and 2027 and the timeline below shows the progress we are making. In 2022, we already selected 53 new projects following our first call for proposals. In January 2024, we selected further 47 new cooperation projects bringing the total number of funded projects to 100.
First call
Closed
in 2022
Second call
Closed
in 2023
Third call

Strategic capitalisation call
To be launched in September 2025.
Strategic call for capitalisation
Targeting all four programme priorities and nine specific objectives, the call will aim to tailor existing outputs and results of both Interreg transnational and cross-border projects to current and emerging needs. Its goal is to maximise territorial and policy impact by reducing the effects of borders on flows and functional linkages among central European regions.
A preview of the call will be available soon on our website. The official launch is expected in late September 2025, with an indicative ERDF budget of €23 million.
This call will be the last call for this programming period.
Third call
Our third call for proposals closed on 10 December 2024. With this call, we invited organisations across central Europe to develop cooperation ideas that pioneer solutions for peripheral and lagging areas.
We received 140 project proposals bringing together 703 organisations from all programme countries and beyond.
The selection of new projects is expected for early autumn following a thorough assessment that will include hearings for the first time.
