Apply with us

The Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme co-finances transnational partnerships that jointly address challenges shared across central European cities and regions – related to either innovation, CO2 reduction, natural and cultural resources or transport.

We regularly launch calls for proposals, approximately once a year. The latest call closed on 24 June 2016 in which we received 210 applications. A funding decision is expected for early 2017. We will publish the opening date of new calls well in advance of their official launch, so it is worth checking this section for regular updates – even if currently no call is open.

What and who we are looking for

We are looking for ideas that address shared challenges in various cities and regions in central Europe. Such transnational partnerships can be formed by both public and private organisations from all governance levels. Full applications have to be submitted in either a one- or two-step procedure (depending on call) and will be thoroughly assessed before the programme monitoring committee takes a funding decision.

For an overview of already funded projects and new project ideas, please join the free Interreg CE Community at an early stage. More detailed information on an upcoming call will then be published in an application package at the opening of a call. We will also offer national and transnational support measures including events and trainings as well as individual consultations for project ideas.

Online application

If you decide to apply with us in the next call, you will have to submit your application online through our e-platform. As our projects will later also be monitored through this e-platform, we call it electronic monitoring system (eMS). In addition to guidance provided in the application package, the eMS also provides basic explanations on the various sections of the application form.
