3rd Call for Proposals
Info for the applicants

Introduction

Introduction

The INTERREG VI-A Italy–Croatia 2021-2027 Programme is launching the 3rd Call for proposal and invites interested eligible applicants to submit their project proposals. 

The Call is addressed to Small-Scale Projects, covering Specific Objectives 2.2, 4.1 and 5.1 and Standard Projects, covering Specific Objectives 1.1., 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1

It is a targeted Call, meaning that it will particularly focus on topics that haven’t been sufficiently treated by projects funded so far, according to a gap analysis, which was carried out by the Programme.

The cross-border approach of each project is of extreme importance and highly considered in the project assessment. All project proposals should be jointly developed and implemented by the partners.

The Call schedule is the following: from 07/05/2025 to 08/07/2025 at 2 PM CET

The Call budget amounts to EUR 34.759.000 ERDF
