Are you interested in our Thematic Priorities?
We have looked at identifying priorities which can make our region more sustainable and greener. We would like to bring forward our innovation capacities and strengthen the ties between research and the labour market. In addition to that, we would like to be the driving force for improving transnational partnerships, helping new countries to access EU. We do that by involving four countries from the Western Balkans area (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) and a Third State (San Marino).

How does it work?
We open calls for applications to grant new funds. When the call is open, we inform you about rules and type of activities that can be funded and about the steps that you must take to apply.
We provide you with support tools throughout the application process. We can consult your project idea to help make it fit best to the Programme.

Are you looking for a partnership?
To be able to submit a project proposal, you must look for a transnational partnership involving the countries of our cooperation area. A transnational partnership is normally made of both EU countries and non-EU member countries to ensure the maximum return in terms of cooperation. To check if your partnership is eligible, always check the rules laid down in the Programme Application manual provided in each call.
