Targeted Call for Regular Project Proposals (final submission)
The submission to the Targeted call for 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.
Up to 30 MEUR will be reserved for the Targeted Call for Regular Project Proposals with partners from EU external regions.
Given the programme area’s expansion and additional funding*, this targeted call is crucial for fostering cross-border cooperation, particularly with our EU external border regions.
This Targeted Call for Regular Projects call has a distinct requirement related to partnership formation: either the Lead Partner or at least half of the project partners must originate from the EU external border regions within the programme area:
– In Finland: Etelä-Savo, Etelä-Karjala, Kymenlaakso
– In Estonia: Kesk-Eesti, Kirde-Eesti, Lõuna-Eesti
– In Latvia: Latgale, Vidzeme
*Disclaimer: 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. This expansion includes the integration of two additional regions, namely Etelä-Savo in Finland and Latgale in Latvia.
