Opportunities for organisations from
the countries of Central Europe (CCE)
Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYROM, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia |
Funding
CCE participants in successful project proposals are granted direct funding from the budget of the Fourth Framework Programme. Funding schemes are comparable to those of European Union (EU) partners. CCE organisations can also join an existing Esprit project, provided that all partners in the consortium, and the Commission, agree.
Which countries does this apply to?
"CCE" for this purpose currently covers Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYROM, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
Note that the participation of a CCE organisation is always in addition to the minimum number of EU organisations in a project: there must generally be two industrial partners, from two different EU countries or countries associated with the programme. The EU member states are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK. The associated countries are Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein and Norway. Please read the detailed rules on participation.
