Conditions in full
Submit your proposal via our online form https://opportunities.getonepass.eu/opportunities/policy-enlarge before the relevant Cut-off Date.
Your application must be in English, and all mandatory sections must be completed.
Proposals cannot be modified after submission.
Multiple submissions for the same Funding Instrument and the same Cut-off Date are not permitted. If the same entity submits more than one proposal for the same Funding Instrument and Cut-off Date, only the most recently submitted proposal will be taken into consideration.
Each third party may benefit from no more than one POLICY ENLARGE Funding Instrument/Grant throughout the entire Open Call, irrespective of the Funding Instrument or Cut-off Date.
If the same third party is included in more than one proposal selected for funding, only the highest-scoring proposal involving that third party will be considered for funding. The other proposal(s) may be replaced by the next-ranked eligible proposal(s), in accordance with the ranking list.
If a third party has already received POLICY ENLARGE funding under a previous Cut-off Date, any subsequent proposal involving the same third party as a funded participant shall be considered ineligible for funding.
We will support up to 45 Projects in this Open Call:
• up to 15 projects under the Small Grants for Joint Regional Innovation Actions,
• up to 10 projects under the Small Grants for Collaborative Uptake of Results, and
• up to 20 mobility grants under the Small Grants for People-to-People Cooperation Projects.
The total budget available for this Open Call is EUR 300,000.
POLICY ENLARGE expects to select an indicative number of proposals under each Cut-off Date (up to 4 under Funding Instrument #1, up to 3 under Funding Instrument #2, and up to 5 under Funding Instrument #3).
The project aims to select at least 1 Project per enlargement country. However, the final number of selected proposals, the distribution across countries, and the Cut-off Dates themselves may be flexibly adjusted based on the quantity and quality of applications and available budget. Any unused budget or places will be transferred to subsequent Cut-off Dates.
We sort calls into fields, career stages and countries automatically. Always check the conditions on the funder’s page before you apply.
