The preparation of the project proposal is a complex process that requires knowledge, competencies, and field expertise from the project partners.

However, it can be generally put down into 5 main steps:

1.    Identify a cross-border problem and relevant target groups and stakeholders.
2.    Form an eligible and relevant partnership.
3.    Define project objectives expressed in the form of tangible outputs and results.
4.    Structure the corresponding budget, determine the timeframe and identify relevant activities.
5.    Fill in and submit the Application Form when the Call for proposals is opened (within the set deadline).

Please make sure to get familiar with the rules and requirements set by the Programme in the documents as well as all specific features of the South Baltic projects.
