Applications Open for Visegrad+ Grant Program

With grants, we seek to advance innovative ideas that address shared challenges by high quality regional cooperation projects. Whether you are pursuing arts, work with vulnerable groups or focus on innovative entrepreneurship, we believe regional cooperation can bring positive change to your field or community.

Conditions

Projects must develop meaningful cooperation and ensure active involvement of at least 3 V4 countries and 1 entity from the EaP region or the Western Balkans countries at minimum, regardless of the applicant

Visegrad+ Grants should be implemented in the EaP or WBs region, and/or have a strong impact on local communities in at least one of those countries

Maximum duration of project implementation is 18 months

Grants cover up to 100% of project budget with maximum 15% of the requested sum for overheads

Projects must clearly address one of the objectives of the program´s seven focus areas

Eligibility

Any non-governmental, legal entity from any country can apply for support if they fulfil the partnership criteria (see below). The Fund’s main targets are civil society organizations (CSOs), public educational, cultural, research and scientific institutions, municipalities, and local governments, but market actors, e.g., companies – especially innovation and startup-related ones – are also eligible, if their project is of nonprofit character.

Natural persons (individual citizens) or institutions of state administration directly subordinated to the state and its bodies, e.g., ministries, government and state agencies, embassies, etc. can neither apply nor

Be valid project partners.

Private entrepreneurs are not eligible to apply or be partners.

Subjects that possess full or partial independence from state administration and possess self-government (such as universities, academic, artistic, social, educational, cultural, research and/or science organizations, municipalities, and local governments, etc.) can apply for the Fund’s support.

If the applicant is a research or higher education institution with several organizational units (e.g. universities, academies of science, etc.), they are obliged to indicate the name of the

smallest possible organizational unit (institute, department, etc.) entrusted with the project’s implementation. Without this information, the application will not be considered eligible. When choosing the appropriate unit, make sure that they are entitled, according to their internal rules, to apply for project funding independently.

Should an overlapping larger unit (e.g. a faculty of the university) have a running grant in the same grant scheme that the applicant wishes to apply for, it is the responsibility of the applicant to make sure that the running project is administered by a separate subunit (e.g. the applicant is a department under a faculty which already has a running project – a clear separation of subunits will be necessary to make the new proposal eligible).

Who can apply?

• Consortium of organizations of which 3 or more are based in different Visegrad countries

• All types of non-governmental, civil society organizations (CSOs); municipalities and local governments; schools, higher education institutions; research and scientific bodies and public institutions are eligible as lead partner (applicant) and partners in the consortia

• Market actors, e.g., companies – especially innovation and startuprelated actors – with a legal entity are also eligible, but only if their
Visegrad project is of nonprofit character

Who cannot apply?

• Institutions directly under state administration (ministries, government agencies, embassies, state-funded cultural institutes, state-owned companies)

• Natural persons (individual citizens)

• Private entrepreneurs with/without a legal entity
