First Call for Proposals - Record number of applications submitted
The First Call for Proposals in the new financial perspective proved to be the most popular yet in the history of cross-border co-operation between Hungary and Croatia, attracting a record number of joint project proposals by non-profit organisations from the two Member States.
By the end of the submission period a total of 204 valid applications were submitted by a long and diverse list of potential beneficiaries, requesting funding by the Programme. Hungarian organisations assumed the role of the Lead Beneficiary in case of 108 project proposals and Croatian ones in 96 cases.
The 204 Hungarian-Croatian project partnerships applied for a total amount of almost 83 mEUR, more than three times the available amount. Projects applying for support within the 4.1.2 Priority Axis “Co-operation in preschool, primary and secondary education and adult education“ face the fiercest competition, with a total of 40 project proposals competing for the available funding, with 2.1.3 “Thematic routes and other tourism products“ and 3.1.1 “Thematic co-operation“ following closely behind.
All the timely applications have entered the assessment phase with the decision on the awarded funding expected indicatively by the end of 2016.
