Interreg North-West Europe Programme - Call for Projects
The
Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) Programme has opened a Call for Project
Proposals. Public and private organisations can submit applications on
Innovation, Low Carbon and Resource and materials efficiency until 30th November.
The
Programme encourages public, scientific, private and civil society
organisations to cooperate with a view to improving the economic,
environmental, territorial and social development of Europe's regions. The
Programme co-finances these organisations to work together in transnational
projects on specific themes. All projects financed by the Programme will need
to demonstrate high, transnational cooperation intensity throughout their lifetime
with a clear focus on results. This means that partners must work together to
deliver, evaluate, disseminate and roll-out the results of their project.
Interreg
NWE is one of the fifteen transnational cooperation programmes financed by the
European Union. It is financed through the European Regional Development Fund
(ERDF).

Voluntary and Community Sector? Guides for EU funding
There is a big pool of funding available from the European Union that can often be overlooked. But with the right amount of time and planning EU funding can work out as an invaluable source of funding.
NCVO's European Funding Network and Funding Central have produced a guide to the main types of EU funding available and how to apply.
