Application

Up to twice a year, the North Sea Region Programme opens a Call for Applications. Project applications are submitted online via the Programme website.

After the closure of the Call, the Secretariat carries out a technical assessment of all eligible applications. The applications are assessed against a number of core selection criteria and priority considerations.

Based on the technical assessment the Secretariat recommends the application for approval or rejection. The final decision about the outcome of the application is taken by the Steering Committee.

Here you can find all you need to know for submitting a viable application.
