How to participate in FCH JU projects?

FCH JU launches every year, since 2008, a call for proposals on the basis of which funding is granted for research, technological development and demonstration projects.

Project participants are selected through open and competitive calls.

The selection of proposals to be supported is based on an independent evaluation and concluded by a Grant agreement.

Indicative budget for each annual call for proposals (doc).
