Three Types of Funding for Different Needs
Our funding program is structured around three types of funding. Within these categories, we offer various funding lines, some of which focus on specific themes or regions. Calls for proposals are generally issued twice a year, in February and September.
Below you can find an overview of all funding lines and their respective application periods. From there, you can navigate directly to the detailed pages for each funding line, which provide comprehensive information on funding priorities, the application process, and a detailed FAQ.
