The financial contribution of the Fund cannot exceed 50% of the total project costs including the in-kind contribution of the applicant, or in-kind contributions of other co-financing subjects.

Deadlines: 1 March, 1 June, 1 September and 1 December

However, the amount of funding provided to projects through the Standard Grant scheme is higher than €5,000 (min. €5,001) and the time frame for the implementation of the projects is 12 months. The financial contribution of the Fund cannot exceed 50% of the total project costs including the in-kind contribution of the applicant, or in-kind contributions of other co-financing subjects.

. Visegrad Strategic Program

The aim of the program is to support long-term projects of strategic character that link institutions of all four Visegrad Group countries. The projects must adhere to at least one of the priorities defined by the Conference of Ministers for the given year (see below). The priorities follow the given foreign policy priorities of the Presidency of the Visegrad Group.

The maximum time frame for the implementation of the Visegrad Strategic Program grants is 3 years. The financial contribution of the Fund cannot exceed 50% of the total project costs, including the in-kind contribution of the applicant, or in-kind contributions of other co-financing subjects.

Annual budget: €300,000
Deadline: 15 February (as of 2010)

Within the annual budget there is no limit to the maximum amount granted to the selected project(s); however, the average amount of the past deadlines is about €50,000 (see the approved projects).

Recommendation: We strongly advise potential applicants to consult the Fund prior to (and in sufficient enough advance to) the submission of the application for the strategic grant.

2010 Priorities of the Visegrad Strategic Program:

   (1) V4 Response to the Decade of Roma Inclusion

Activities financed under this priority should enhance the cooperation in the field of Roma integration, sharing best practices and know-how regarding desegregation policies among the countries and partners concerned and involved. The 3 June V4 meeting of the Heads of Governments decided to establish a working group on Roma Integration aiming at creating a Central-European Roma Strategy. Those proposed projects dealing with Roma issues being in accordance with the activities and main goals to be set out of this working group are particularly welcome.

   (2) Building a Green Visegrad

   (3) Sharing V4 Know-how with Neighbouring Regions

   (4) V4 Promotion

Applications for Strategic Grants must be submitted through the on-line application system.

. Visegrad University Studies Grant (VUSG)

The aim of the program is to promote and support the development and launch of outstanding university courses or study programs that deal with specific phenomena explicitly related to the Visegrad Group countries. The grant is intended as a lump-sum, one-installment grant awarded to selected university departments, schools or faculties that can document a prepared syllabus/curriculum for such a course/program and confirm its planned long-term enrollment in a given curriculum.

Annual budget: €100,000
Next deadline: 10 November
