It suits you if…

  • You can build a community-driven tourism model that involves tourists or users of the sea.
  • You work with partners from different EU or associated countries in a consortium.
  • Your project can cover training and skills for local communities and visitors.
  • Your project focuses on a single sea basin or Mission lighthouse.
  • Your organisation is established in one of the countries the call lists as eligible.

It is not for you if…

  • You plan to work alone: the call expects an international consortium.
  • Your organisation is established in Russia, Belarus or non-government controlled territories of Ukraine.
  • Your project would cover several sea basins at once: each proposal addresses only a single one.
  • Your organisation is under EU administrative sanctions or in an exclusion situation listed in the General Annexes.

How much you can get

The call has a total budget of €6,000,000, shared among all the projects selected. The call does not state a cap per project or a funding rate: ask the National Contact Points before you build the budget. An advance payment is available.

What it pays and what it does not

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Proposing a project that spans several sea basins or lighthouses. Consequence: The proposal does not meet a condition of the call.
  • Showing fewer areas, or areas in a single country, than the call asks. Consequence: The demonstration requirement is not met.
  • Including a partner established in Russia or Belarus, or under EU restrictive measures. Consequence: That entity is not eligible in any capacity.
  • Putting the consultant's fee into the budget. Consequence: In EU calls this cost cannot go into the budget.
  • Leaving the upload of Part B and the annexes to the last day. Consequence: You may miss the closing date.

Frequently asked questions

Who can apply?

Which language can I use?

Do I have to share data?

If your project collects in-situ data and marine observations, you must give open access to them through the European Marine Observation and Data network, following FAIR principles.

How to take part from your country

For this call and your type of organisation we do not yet have a partner consultant who prepares the application.
