European Remembrance

The European Remembrance program is designed to fund eligible legal entities across EU Member States and CERV-associated countries. Its primary aim is to facilitate projects that deepen European citizens' understanding of their shared history and values, focusing particularly on significant historical events and their contemporary relevance.

The funding supports projects focused on European historical memory, encompassing diverse activities from research and education to cultural initiatives. Emphasis is placed on themes related to totalitarian regimes and democratic transitions. Projects are funded as lump sum grants, covering all related costs.

The European Remembrance grant provides lump sum funding, with a total budget of 8 million EUR. Project durations are typically between 12 and 24 months, with no specified maximum grant amount per individual project.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to specific conditions covering application submission, consortium formation, budget stipulations, and various other operational and ethical provisions. Proposals must comply with EU values, promote gender equality, and, for organizations working with children, implement robust child protection policies.

The application process for European Remembrance grants is a single-stage, electronic submission via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. Evaluation involves checks for formal compliance and assessment against specific award criteria, leading to a ranking and eventual grant preparation for successful proposals.

The European Remembrance program is grounded in key EU regulations and policies, including the EU Financial Regulation and the CERV Regulation. It supports broader European initiatives aimed at combating discrimination and promoting equality.
