You will find below:
- The guidelines for applicants
- The application form
- The budget form
- The final report template (For approved projects only)
You and your partners must :
- Complete a single application form together. This includes a joint budget, showing clearly how much funding is requested by each partner and from which Straits Committee funding authority this will come from.
- The application should be written in the official language of each local authority you are applying to. For example, if funding is requested from Kent, Pas-de-Calais and Oost-Vlaanderen authorities, you should provide versions in English, French and Dutch. It is not necessary to provide certified translations.
- Send your completed application forms in a single email that is copied to all Straits authorities you are applying to. You will find the address in the guidelines for applicants.
After we receive your application: :
- We check the eligibility of your project and if there are sufficient funds available to consider supporting it
- If your project is eligible, it will get a technical appraisal
- Once this assessment is complete, your proposal will be presented to the Straits Committee for a decision either during a Straits Executive Committee meeting or by written procedure.
- We will inform you by e-mail once the Straits Committee has taken its decision
If the decision is positive, each Straits authority has its own processes to formalize a grant award. Your project approval is only official once all necessary confirmations have been obtained by all the project partners.
