Expression of interest
Find everything you need to know to submit an expression of interest.
Main content
Submitting an expression of interest (EoI) is the first step in our two-step application procedure for regular projects. The EoI allows you to present your idea to our Monitoring Committee with limited effort.
If your EoI is approved, you can move on to the second stage and prepare a more comprehensive, full application in confidence that it stands a fair chance of approval.
Overview of the application process
On this page, you will find guidance designed to help you develop and submit an expression of interest.
To apply, you need to create an account in our online monitoring system and fill in the expression of interest form online.
To get started, set up an account in two simple steps:
- Please visit https://oms.interregnorthsea.eu/.
- Choose 'register' in the left-hand side and fill in your profile.
Now you are all set!
During open calls, you can log in, choose the relevant application form and start filling it in. You can stop and save your draft as you go along. You can also share the online form to work simultaneously with other editors.
The expression of interest form is relatively simple and straightforward; however, you may find some of these short guides handy as you go along:
Allow multiple editors to work together
Move a non-submitted application from one call to another
