Facilitating cross-border regional cooperation
Whereas the majority of EEA and Norway Grants funding is tailor-made to national initiatives and bilateral cooperation between the donor and beneficiary countries, the new EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation supports project ideas strengthening cross-border and transnational cooperation between the donor countries, the beneficiary countries and ten neighbouring countries.
A total of €34.5 million has been allocated to this fund. In the first call for project proposals that was also launched today €15 million is made available for projects. The call is available on www.eeagrants.org/regionalcooperation. The purpose of the fund is to finance regional cooperation projects within a wide range of fields
Cooperation also with neighbouring countries
It is possible to apply for funding for projects within any of the priority sectors of the EEA and Norway Grants, for example projects in the areas of innovation, business development, health, research, social inclusion, the environment and climate change, culture, civil society, protection of fundamental rights, migration, and the judicial system/correctional services. Read more about the priority sectors here.
Funding is available for projects in all the 15 beneficiary countries of the EEA and Norway Grants. In addition, projects may involve cooperation with non-EU countries that share a border with a beneficiary country.
Projects must involve partners from at least three countries and activities in different countries.
The deadline for applications is 1 July 2018.
