Second call for projects
The Second Call for Projects is reopened from 4th of November to 20th December (1:00 pm Lisbon time), and it is specific for Priority 4, Interreg Specific Objective 1 (ISO 1) “A better governance for cooperation in the Atlantic Area”.
With an indicative financial allocation of around €3.75 million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and a total funding of €5 million, this call presents a significant opportunity to support better coordination among different policy levels and increase the institutional capacity of Atlantic Area authorities. Considering the ERDF allocated, only one project will be selected.
Applicants are invited to submit a highly innovative project that will amplify the valuable results outside the Interreg bubble, feeding into existing or potential governance networks or initiatives to inspire or influence public policies and decisions, and policy makers. Given the typology of this call, it is only addressed to public entities and non-profit organisations.
If you're looking for partners, visit the Atlantic Connection Hub.
The Second Call for Projects was initially opened from the 8th of April to the 21st of June 2024, and reopened from 1st of July to 26th July.
