Calls for proposals
We fund cooperation projects through calls
for proposals. Find out about open and upcoming opportunities and learn about past calls.
Timeline of calls
Our calls for proposals are open invitations to submit project ideas to our funding programme.
Between 2021 and 2027, we are launching a series of calls to support transnational solutions for central Europe. The timeline below illustrates the progress of these calls. As of September 2025, we are funding 125 cooperation projects.
The final call of this programme period, a strategic call for capitalisation, is currently open. If your project has delivered tested solutions, this is your chance to scale up their impact. Do not miss the opportunity to turn your achievements into regional change, apply now!

Strategic call for capitalisation
Targeting all four programme priorities and nine specific objectives, the call aims to tailor existing outputs and results of both Interreg transnational and cross-border projects to current and emerging needs. Its goal is to maximise territorial and policy impact by reducing the effects of borders on flows and functional linkages among central European regions.
The call is open until Thursday 27 November 2025 at 16:00 CET, with an indicative budget of €23 million ERDF.
This call will be the last call for this programming period.
Third call results
Our third call for proposals closed on 10 December 2024. With this call, we invited organisations across central Europe to develop cooperation ideas that pioneer solutions for peripheral and lagging areas.
On 22 September 2025, our programme monitoring committee agreed to co-finance 25 new transnational cooperation projects with a budget of around 15 million EUR from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The projects will kick-off their activities early next year.
