Continuous Annual Call for Projects:
Applications are processed as they are received, starting from April 1st. This call for projects closes when the remaining funds are insufficient to finance all submitted projects. The closing date will be published in due course on our website. Confirmation of acceptance or rejection of your application will be provided no later than 6 weeks after the submission date.
Fixed Deadline Call for Projects:
