Call
Detailed Call Description
The call for proposals is open to all sustainable blue economy sectors. Each project should however focus on at least three sectors so as to mainstream and expand good practices and activities, from sectors where data is already available and actions have already been taken in terms of gender equality (e.g., shipping, fishing etc.) to sectors where data availability and actions are still limited (e.g., offshore renewable energies, blue bioeconomy, robotics, etc.).
Proposals should ensure the widest possible geographical scope and involve partners across different sea basins
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
The available call budget is EUR 2 500 000. This budget might be increased by maximum 20%. The costs will be reimbursed at the funding rate fixed in the Grant Agreement (90%)
