If you need funding for your project idea, why not join our Call 10 for expressions of interest?
The two-step application process allows you to test the waters via a smooth and easy initial step. The process of submitting an expression of interest is fairly straightforward, with simple procedures and limited need for detailed information.
If your expression of interest is approved, you are eligible to join the second step and submit a full application for your idea. Whilst this is a more comprehensive process, the rate of approval is high – our last call for final applications saw an 80% approval rate.

Apply with success
To up your chances of approval, please make clear how and why your project idea matters. What challenges and opportunities does it address? What is new or innovative about your idea, and how does it complement other related initiatives? Also, since North Sea Region projects are transnational in scope, you need to explain why your project needs a transnational dimension. We recommend you to keep in mind that your reviewers are not experts in your field and still need to understand the central idea of your project. Although your expertise is key to implementing the project, you shold try to avoid technical jargon and instead present your idea in the most straightforward way possible in the application form.
You may consult the relevant Project Advisors at the Joint Secretariat until 3 weeks before the deadline for applications. After this date, the Secretariat can only provide answers to strictly technical questions, however you can still contact our National Contact Point for feedback.
Call 10 closes on 8 April, so you still have plenty of time to submit a good proposal.
