Do you have a great idea to tackle a common challenge in the North Sea region? Do you have a team ready that can hit the ground running?

Then we invite you to join the third call in the 2021-2027 North Sea Programme. 

Applications in Call 3 are restricted

In the first two calls, interest for funding has been especially intense. Due to limited remaining funds, not all categories are open.

The programme welcomes the following applications:

  • Full applications in all four priorities. Full applications must be based on approved expressions of interest or a rejected full application submitted in Calls 1 or 2.
  • Expressions of interest in priority 1.
  • Small-scale projects for priorities 1, 3 and 4.

The infographic below gives an overview of the project types you can submit in the four priorities of the programme.

If you have been contemplating applying in a priority that is now closed, it might be worth considering how your project idea might fit under another priority or as a small-scale project. Feel free to get in touch with us to discuss these options.
