Scope and conditions for Call 6 projects

Call 6 is a capitalisation call aiming to boost the positive impacts of VIB Interreg North Sea projects.

Call 6 will support small-scale projects that capitalise on achieved outputs from projects in the current (VIB) programme period and build on them in innovative ways.
Existing project partners as well as others are eligible to apply. A special welcome will be extended to newcomers to the programme.
The scope of Call 6 projects will be slightly broader than in previous calls. Projects may include up to nine partners, run for 1.5–2 years, and work with budgets of up to €1 million.
Applicants will be encouraged to propose new activities that align closely with the current European agenda — for example, topics like resilience and increased competitiveness.
