Support
We help all applicants. Browse through our support and get in touch if you need anything.
Applicant community
Our applicant community brings together organisations from across central Europe.
The community is central for building partnerships. It facilitates the search for potential project partners and presents existing ideas. If you need additional partners for your project idea or simply want to join another one, this is the best place to start your cooperation. We also organise applicant support events and hold consultations with lead applicants on this platform.
Events for applicants
For each call, we offer a series of support events and webinars.
Many of our events take place in our applicant community, so if you are not a member, yet, register quickly! In case you miss any of our events, the recordings will become available there as well.
Our webinar on 29 September 2025 is part of this series. During this session, we officially launched the strategic call for capitalisation, introduced its key elements and answered initial questions from potential applicants.
A dedicated Q&A session will follow on 16 October 2025, giving applicants the opportunity to ask further questions about the call.
In our event calendar, you will also find all upcoming national information events organised by our national contact points (NCPs) in your area.
Explainers and tutorials
If you quickly want to get familiar with what we fund, have a look at our thematic explainers and tutorials.
Before spending time reading all our documents, short explainer videos will introduce you to our funding priorities and specific objectives. In addition, our tutorials will give you good guidance on how to develop a successful project proposal.
Individual consultations
Individual consultations with the joint secretariat are offered for each proposal under the strategic call for capitalisation. These non-compulsory consultations can be booked between 30 September and 19 November 2025.
During the 45-minute session, programme officers from the joint secretariat will discuss the relevance of the project idea with lead applicant and answer questions on content, communications and finances. We recommend requesting your consultation early. Your project idea should, however, be sufficiently mature to fully benefit from the consultation. Please note that only one consultation is granted per project idea.
Self-assessment tool
