Please note that national co-funding is available for co-funding amounts of at least 100,000 euros per organisation.
Please note: Starting with this call for proposals, in addition to individual submissions, you have the option to submit your EC project as a national consortium together with other Austrian project partners. In this case, the required minimum amount for co-funding increases in proportion to the number of partners (e.g., for a consortium of 3 project partners, the minimum amount is 300,000 euros) and is considered as a whole for the national consortium. A separate, officially signed EoI must be submitted by each partner until the deadline. Detailed information can be found in the EoI template.
The evaluation of the submitted EoIs will take place after the above-mentioned deadline has passed. In the event of a positive evaluation and available funding, you will receive feedback in the form of a “Letter of Intent” before the European Commission’s submission deadline. We are happy to answer any questions you may have in advance.
