The description of priorities and objectives, together with the type of actions, is provided in the Approved Cooperation Programme 2021-2027.
The project application follows a one-step procedure.

Results should be communicated to candidates within 6-8 months after submission. The Monitoring Committee approval decision is foreseen for the end of June 2023.
Budget
The Programme budget allocated to this First Call is 45.4 M€. This allocation may be adjusted by the Monitoring Committee in line with the Programme needs.
