Can your project bring a solution to a challenge?
There are several types of project that our Programme co-finances. Core project is one of them: the currently opened call is dedicated for core projects only. In core projects (duration up to 36 months), you will prepare, pilot and transfer practical and durable solutions.

Can you secure your own financial contribution and pre-finance project activities?
Project partners have to provide their own contribution to receive Programme co-financing. The rates vary. EU partners can receive up to 80% co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund. Partners from Norway can receive up to 50% co-financing from the Norwegian national funding.

Is one of your partners ready to take the role of a lead partner?
The Programme is based on the lead partner principle. This means that one project partner has to act as the lead partner to represent the project and takes an overall responsibility for the development and implementation of the project.
