Project Stages

The purpose of this section is to illustrate the procedures that a potential applicant must follow from project definition and partners identification, until receiving funding. The various steps for receiving funding can be summarised as follows:

1. Application stage: This stage starts with the “Call for Proposals”, and finishes with the submission of the Application by the applicant.

2. Evaluation stage: During this stage the applications received are evaluated, and the projects eligible for financing are selected and announced publicly.

3. Implementation stage: This is the longest and most demanding stage from the side of the successful applicant.
