Our third call for proposals was open from 15 October to 10 December 2024. With this call, we invited organisations from across central Europe to develop transnational cooperation ideas for small-scale projects that “pioneer solutions for peripheral and lagging areas, making them more attractive to live and work in”.
When we closed the call, 703 organisations had joined forces in 140 project proposals to work together on a smarter, greener, better connected, and more integrated central Europe. The call budget of around 14 million Euros from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) will be allocated to the best project proposals.
If you applied to the third call, you are surely interested in our timeline for the assessment and selection of projects. We have already started with initial administrative and formal checks of the submitted project proposals. The process ahead will then entail a quality assessment in two phases, with desk assessment being followed by the online hearings. The final step will be the selection of projects by the programme monitoring committee, which is expected in the early autumn.
