First call for proposals

The first call of the Interreg Danube Region Programme targeted all 4 programme priorities, resulting in 60 new DRP projects approved by the Monitoring Committee on 19 October 2023.

The first call of the Danube Region Programme was open from 29 September 2022 till 21 November 2022, 14:00 CET. It was targeted to proposals for projects focused on the programme priorities 1, 2, 3 and specific objective 4.2.

The call was organised in two steps:

First step with the expression of interest (EoI) outlining mainly the intervention logic of the proposal and the strategic relevance for the DRP submitted through the programme monitoring system (Jems).
Second step with the submission of the completed application form (AF) with the required Annexes through Jems.

Applicants whose proposal was pre-selected in the first step phase had to submit the completed application form (with required Annexes) in the second step.

Major novelties in DRP 2021-2027:

EU contribution to projects is 80%
Use of Interreg funds (ERDF, IPA and NDICI funds are pooled together in a single pot)
Lead Partners can be both from EU and non-EU countries (exception: Ukrainian organisations can participate in the 1st call for proposals only as project partners)
