The ACCTING partners are excited to announce that the Call for Pilot Projects has been officially closed and they are now proceeding into reviewing the accepted proposals.
During this past summer, the project has opened a call and gave the opportunity to applying parties to be selected and implement a pilot project addressing vulnerabilities related to the EU Green Deal. The funding to be rewarded will reach up to €32,000 per pilot- subject to costs motivation from applying parties – for projects which should last up to 12 months.
