Next steps

The regular projects moving to the second step of the application process will be given a contact person in the Joint Secretariat (JS) after the MC meeting. The JS will then get in touch with the Lead Partner to explain the next steps.

Rejected projects will get formal decisions explaining why they were rejected during November. After this, projects can contact the JS for more information and guidance on what to do next.

Congratulations to all successful projects!

About the calls

The programme received a total of 79 applications in the first step for regular project proposals. After the technical check, it was determined that 32 proposals were submitted for the General call and 47 proposals for the Targeted call.

Each call covered all Programme Objectives but differed in scope. The general call was open to the entire programme area, while the targeted call focused on EU external border regions. All regular project proposals follow a two-stage submission process, with the first stage in April and the second in October (for selected proposals only).
