Link to decisions NEXT DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING GRANT APPLICATIONS 1 October 2010: Category A and Category B projects taking place in the second half of 2011 Please note that each Category A application must contain a preliminary draft programme showing how each session of the activity (or slots in the programme) is working towards the objectives stated in the proposal. It should also demonstrate the methodology and learning outcomes, i.e. what the participants are expected to gain in terms of knowledge, know-how, skills and change in attitude.
You are reminded that the international project team (preparatory team, leadership team) for Category A and B grants must be composed of a minimum of four people from four different countries.
Special conditions for NATIONAL NGOs applying for a Category A or B grant
The applying NGO must have partner organisations in at least three other countries.
The applying NGO and the three (minimum) partners must work together throughout the whole process (initial idea, concept, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.). There must be a valid reason why these organisations are working together (for example a common vision on a particular subject, specific expertise, previous co-operation)
A partner is not:
- an individual
- an organisation only sending participants but not having any other role
A signed letter from each partner organisation describing the rationale and added value of working together and describing their involvement in each stage of the process must be attached to the application (please avoid using templates provided by other funding agencies).
Applications not complying with the above conditions will delay the process for assessment. Attention Youth NGOs wishing to apply for a study session at the European Youth Centre in Strasbourg or Budapest can find the application forms on the Youth website. Deadline for applications: 1 October. Contact eyc.studysessions@coe.int for more information. |

If you apply in French on the English site, all correspondence will be a mixture of French and English.

Click on "Modification" in the "Organisation" section in the left-hand menu to make any changes. When you fill in an application form, please consult the How to apply section in the left-hand menu. It is there to help you and to avoid eligibility problems. When applying, please check that the budget is balanced. Please also calculate the totals of expenditure and income correctly.

In particular, you must request the prior approval of the EYF for any change made to the original application (dates, place, budget, etc.). Registered NGOs can open and print their past project applications (see Project follow up).
This new computerised system, which has been made possible thanks also to the support of the UIC (International Union of Railways), corresponds to the wishes of the Programming Committee on Youth (statutory decision-making body on the allocation of grants) to simplify and make more transparent the EYF's administrative procedures. |
