A Project Proposal has to be in line with the CEI Plan of Action 2014 2016 (extended to 2017 and valid for project proposals submitted in 2017). As outlined in the Plan of Action, the CEI is supporting the implementation of EU macroregional strategies within its territory. The CEI is also supporting its Member States targeted by the Eastern Partnership (EAP) to bring them closer to the EU as well as the SEE 2020 Strategy. Proposals reflecting those objectives are welcome. The Know how Exchange Programme focuses on areas of intervention where CEI EU countries have demonstrated strong rooted experience, and where beneficiary states have shown the strongest need for assistance. Project Proposals are required to address at least one of the KEP Priorities (see Annex I). Proposals also have to show an economic rationale, cover investment aspects, economic transition, capacity building, or the business environment, in areas related to general development and European economic integration. All project objectives general and specific stated in the Application Form must be well defined, attainable and linked to tangible project activities. Overambitious objectives, not directly linked to activities of the project or impossible to post evaluate, are likely to be poorly scored. 200.000 EUR Any grant awarded under this Call for Proposals shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the total cost of a given project, and the maximum grant amount allocated to a single project cannot exceed forty thousand euro (40.000 EUR). The value of in-kind contributions cannot exceed 25 per cent (25%) of the total project cost; therefore the applicant can match in-kind contributions and cash to ensure adequate co-financing to the project (other than the CEI Grant). The Applicant shall be registered in a CEI Member State also member of the EU, namely: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The following types of applicants are eligible to apply: all public and private sector bodies (not individuals), international and non governmental organisations operating in the public interest, e.g. national, regional and local authorities, education/research institutions, and environmental organisations. In case of applications from international organisations facilitating cooperation between the know how providers and the beneficiary institutions in the CEI region, the CEI grant shall be transferred to and managed by this international body.

More particularly, it aims at catalysing smaller risk-capital investments of below 500.000 EUR that otherwise would not happen. The grant is aimed at financial intermediaries that undertake long term risk capital investments in ticket sizes of less than 500.000 EUR in the form of equity, quasi-equity, or hybrid financing (see annex II for a glossary) to social enterprises in the EaSI Participating Countries7. It will serve to lower the transaction costs for these small investment tickets and thus help overcome a market failure in the social enterprise finance market. Activities related to the preparation, conclusion and follow-up of long term risk capital investments into social enterprises may be funded under this call for proposals. This may include activities such as: travelling to meet (potential) investees; screening and processing investment applications; preparing legal documents, potentially with a lawyers' advice; carrying out the due diligence, including assessing (potential) impact; providing investment readiness, scaling readiness or business restructuring support; bringing in co-investors; managing the investments and monitoring social impact. 3 mio EUR The EU grant requested should indicatively be between 300.000 and 1 million EUR. Under this call for proposals, the EU grant may not exceed 80 % of the total eligible costs of the action. To be eligible, the applicant (sole or lead and co-applicants) must be: 1. An investment fund, a Fund-of-Funds, a special purpose vehicle, in any form, established or to be established In this case, there are 2 options: Either the legal entity of the investment fund, the Fund-of-Funds or the special purpose vehicle can be an applicant. Or the (future) manager of the investment fund, of the Fund-of-Funds or the special purpose vehicle (established or to be established) can be applicant. For the avoidance of doubt, the (future) manager must already be an established and registered legal entity at the time of the submission of the application. 2. A (co-) investment scheme in any form (including managed accounts and other types of contractual arrangements) established or to be established.

1.14 Europe for Citizens: Strand 2 - Democratic engagement and civic participation - Networks of Towns 2017 (second deadline) EACEA Status: aktiven Datum objave: 5.6.2017 Rok prijave: 1.9.2017 at 12:30 (CET Brussels date and time) https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/europe-for-citizens/funding/town-twinning-2017-%e2%80%93- second-deadline_en Municipalities and associations working together on a common theme in a long-term perspective may wish to develop networks of towns to make their cooperation more sustainable. Networking between municipalities on issues of common interest appears to be an important means for enabling the exchange of good practices. Twinning is a strong link that binds municipalities; therefore, the potential of the networks created by a series of town twinning links should be used for developing thematic and longlasting cooperation between towns. The European Commission supports the development of such networks, which are important for ensuring structured, intense and multifaceted cooperation, therefore contributing to maximising the impact of the Programme.
