Who can apply

Submission procedures :

A two-stage procedure will apply to this Joint Transnational Call; at stage 1 the submission of pre-proposals is mandatory, and at stage 2, applicants must submit full proposals upon invitation. (Pre-)proposals must be submitted electronically using the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS): https://proposals.etag.ee/sustainable-blue/2026 .

The online system may experience high traffic volumes in the last hours before the submission deadline and it is therefore highly recommended to submit the final version of the pre / full proposal well in advance of the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical problems.

Requests for extensions of the deadline due to last-minute technical problems will not be considered. Any proposals not correctly submitted at this moment will be declared ineligible.

Evaluation procedures :

Detailed procedures are available in the call text.

Applicant categories are a starting point. The official call decides eligibility.

Timing

Next deadline 2026-11-16; later cut-offs 2027-06-14. Check the call page for the exact time.

How to apply

3. Read the call guidelines for who can apply, eligible countries and the support per applicant (financial support to third parties is often a lump sum or capped amount).
4. Submit before the deadline shown above; check the call page for the exact time zone.
