Is your organisation participating in an EU project or a flagship within the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region? Would you like to cooperate with Russia or the EU Eastern Partnership countries? Organisations based in Sweden can apply for funding from the Swedish Institute.

The Swedish Institute has opened a call to offer Swedish actors support for the inclusion of actors from Russia or the countries of the EU Eastern Partnership in a current EU project or a flagship within the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region.

The funding aims at creating conditions for mutual and long-term cooperation between actors in Sweden and other EU countries in the Baltic Sea Region as well as Russia and the countries of the EU's Eastern Partnership. The goal is also that the programme countries will receive increased knowledge about and access to EU structures and networks. This will strengthen the opportunities for long-term international cooperation as well as give ongoing EU projects / flagships a broader approach and a new dimension.

 

Basic facts:

• The call closes 17 April 2018.
• The main applicant has to be based in Sweden.
• The application must include at least two actors in two different countries eligible for support, one of which is Sweden (as main applicant).

• The application must be linked to a current EU project where one of the parties involved is the Swedish applicant. Alternatively, the application may be linked to a flagship under the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region where the Swedish applicant is involved.

• A project may run for no longer than 2 years.
• A project can apply for up to SEK 350.000 for a 1-year project and up to SEK 700.000 for a 2-year project.
• The funding is available for actors from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russian Federation, Sweden and Ukraine.
