The European Union "EU Centres Initiative" aims to encourage greater awareness and knowledge of the EU through support for EU focused curriculum development and research, outreach and academic links, in a number of developed countries including Australia. EU Centres are established for fixed terms of years by way of an open call for proposals.
This year for the first time, the call has been opened to include research institutes, think tanks, business organisations, NGOs and other organisations outside of universities.
The present Call for Proposals is intended to support the development of the EU Centres in Australia and New Zealand and it is estimated that up to 5 grants will be awarded to support the activities of EU Centres, depending on the quality and the number of the proposals received and on the availability of funding (at least one of which will be in New Zealand). Each grant will be of up to € 800.000 for stand-alone applications (with or without partners), and up to € 900.000 for consortia.
Deadline for submission is 29 November 2013.
