The open call under the POLICY ENLARGE project provides a total of €300,000 in grant funding to support cross-border cooperation in research and innovation (R&I) across the enlargement region. Through three tailored funding instruments, the programme offers grants of up to €8,000 per project, and up to €5,000 for mobility and people-to-people cooperation projects.

Whether you are a university researcher, a deep-tech startup founder, an incubator manager, or a creative innovator, this call is designed to help you achieve international visibility without having to spend months tracking every euro cent spent.

To ensure that all interested stakeholders are fully informed about the eligibility requirements, application procedure, and available funding models, we are organizing an official online Info Day.
