Grant

The Partnerships for Cooperation in education and training – European NGOs program, part of Erasmus+, aims to enhance the quality and relevance of activities within organisations, fostering transnational collaboration and network expansion. It supports the development and implementation of innovative practices and joint initiatives, with a strong focus on re-usable, transferable, and scalable results. This program seeks to drive transformation across individual, organisational, and sectoral levels, particularly in education and youth.

Who is Funded

The 'Partnerships for Cooperation' program targets a wide array of public and private organizations across Europe and associated countries, with specific provisions for European NGOs. Its primary goal is to foster high-quality, relevant, and impactful initiatives that enhance capacity and address critical needs in education, training, and youth.

What is Funded

This funding program supports projects that drive innovation and foster cooperation across diverse fields, specifically within education, training, and youth. Projects must align with key priorities, integrate digital tools, and promote environmental sustainability. Funding is provided as fixed lump sums, and a clear project methodology with a structured work plan is essential.

Type and Scope of Funding

The program provides fixed lump sum grants for projects lasting between 12 and 36 months, encouraging applicants to select an amount that best aligns with their project's scope and objectives while observing the co-financing principle. No minimum co-financing rate is explicitly stated, but applicants should consider additional funding sources.

Conditions and Requirements

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions for proposal submission, consortium composition, and project implementation, including strict budget management and compliance with EU policies on inclusion, environmental sustainability, and digitalization. Special attention is drawn to restrictions regarding Hungarian public interest trusts.

Application Procedure

The application process for this Erasmus+ call involved a single-stage submission to the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) in Brussels, specifically for European NGOs. Evaluation results were communicated to applicants in September 2023.

The 'Partnerships for Cooperation' program is firmly rooted in the overarching Erasmus+ Programme, with its specific conditions and requirements detailed in official guides and legal acts to ensure transparent and consistent operation.
