Topic 1: School Education: Enhancing basic skills

Organisations from Belarus and the Russian Federation are not eligible to participate in this action (see further information about entities subject to EU restrictive measures in the Call document under Chapter 6 Eligibility)

Yes, NGOs are in general eligible under this Call.

Yes, staff costs are eligible.

No, international organizations such as UN are not eligible. The rules on eligible countries do not apply to them.

Coordinating institutions may submit more than one proposal for different projects under the same call (and be awarded a funding for them). Organisations may participate in several proposals.

Subcontracting should normally constitute a limited part of the grant and must be performed by third parties (not by one of the beneficiaries/affiliated entities). Subcontracting going beyond 30% of the total eligible cost must be justified in the application. The general rule is that the coordination task cannot be subcontracted.

Yes, costs for a separate project website are eligible.

Once the application budget has been evaluated and approved by the Agency, the grant will be fixed to 80% of the approved budget (limited to a maximum amount of 1.000.000 EUR). The other 20% is the co-funding. It is up to each beneficiary to decide how to find the co-financing needed. During the lifetime of the project, if each work package has been fully implemented with the planned qualitative deliverables, the Lump Sum amount of the work package is paid. You don’t have to justify the co-financing nor provide any proof.

A project proposal can address a combination of all, several skills, or even just focus on one in particular. The same goes for the education levels: it can be a combination or focus on separate levels.

Proposals are limited to maximum 70 pages (Part B). Evaluators will not consider any additional pages.

Only Detailed budget table/calculator is a mandatory annex. You cannot attach any other documents.
