Call for Regular Project Proposals (final submission)
The submission of regular project proposals is done in two steps: first in April and second (i.e. final) in October.
Decisions regarding the submitted regular project proposals for the first step were made by the Monitoring Committee on September 10 and 11, 2024. The list of project acronyms selected to continue to the second step was subsequently published on the programme website after the meeting: First decisions made on the Fourth round of calls for regular projects.
Second-step application phase
Second-step application phase continues for regular projects which were selected to proceed to the second step. These projects must submit their applications in Jems between October 10 and October 31, 2024, by noon Eastern European Time (corresponding local time 12:00 in Finland, including Åland, Estonia, Latvia, and 11:00 in Sweden).
Final decisions
Final decisions for regular projects in the second step will be made by the Monitoring Committee in mid-February 2025.
Participating regions and expansion of the programme area
The participating regions cover the whole programme area in Estonia, Finland including Åland, Latvia and Sweden. Due to Russia’s military actions against Ukraine and the subsequent suspension of funding programmes with Russia and Belarus, the Central Baltic Programme expanded its geographical scope and received additional funding. This expansion was approved by the European Commission at the end of 2023. As a result, cross-border projects from the newly included areas, namely Etelä-Savo in Finland and Latgale in Latvia, also can apply for funding.
In total, 40 MEUR is reserved for the call for regular project proposals.
