As part of the Interreg Central Europe 2021-2027 transnational cooperation program, the first Call for project proposals has been opened. The aim of the first call is to offer the widest thematic range for the largest possible number of interested partners. In this sense, all four thematic priorities are open to applicants:
• Cooperation for a smarter Central Europe
• Cooperation for a greener Central Europe
• Cooperation for a more connected Central Europe
• Cooperation for improved governance in Central Europe
The project consortium has to consist of at least three partners from three EU Member States, two of which must be based in the program area. The co-financing rate for projects is 80%.
The call is open until February 23, 2022. The maximum duration of the project is 36 months, and the start of implementation is scheduled for January 2023.
More information about the Call and the entire tender documentation can be downloaded from the official website of the Program.
If you are interested in applying, there are a number of materials available that can help you prepare your project proposal:
• Video materials about the Program (including a recording of the Launch Event held on November 15, 2021);
• Platform for the development of transnational partnerships, intended for the search for potential project partners and the development of project ideas;
• Beginner’s Guide to Interreg Central Europe;
• A guide to preparing a quality project proposal.
An online Q&A webinar (December 2, 2021) and a national information day for the Call have also been announced, about which we will publish more information as they become known.
