New calls – Interreg Baltic Sea Region

February 18, 2022

Starting on 8th February 2022, the Interreg Baltic Sea Region is inviting applicants to develop and submit proposals for small and core projects. For small projects, the deadline for submitting the Project Idea Form is 9th March, and for core projects, the deadline is 15th March 2022.

While core projects demand practical and durable solutions and their implementation can last up to 36 months, small projects are aimed at increasing the capacity building of the target groups, they can last up to 24 months and their budget is maximum EUR 500,000. For more information about the types of projects, the application process and documents, you can visit the gateway for applicants.

The current 2021/27 programme is structured around four priorities:

(1) innovative societies,

(2) water-smart societies,

(3) climate-neutral societies, and

(4) cooperation governance.

To help applicants better understand the programme objectives and the budget preparation, the Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat has prepared a series of videos. You can access those resources in the ‘tutorials’ section of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region website. And if you need ideas for your project, you can also check the outputs from the 2014/20 programme.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
