EDIP calls appear under EDF technical configuration framework in the Funding and Tender portal. However, all EDIP calls and topics are clearly identified with EDIP in their identifiers (e.g. EDF-EDIP-2026-XXX).
The same does apply with the Model Grant Agreement which is common for actions funded via lump-sum both under EDF and EDIP, with some provisions only applying to EDIP and some others only applying to EDF.
This does not imply that there is any link between the EDF and the EDIP Regulations, which are fully independent.

The rule on double funding in the financial regulation is that the same cost under an action cannot be covered twice by the EC budget. The SEAP call finances with a fixed amount the establishment and functioning of the Structures (not linked to an activity but it is an incentive to sustain the SEAP structure functioning) whereas and EDIP CPA is providing funding support for common procurement actions (can be implemented through a SEAP). In both cases the financing is not linked to costs and measured according to the achievement of the milestones under each call. Therefore, applying for both a SEAP Supporting Action and an EDIP CPA is permissible. The applications and grant agreements must nevertheless clearly separate the establishment and operating activities of the SEAP from the activities and milestones of the common procurement.
