Funding and tender opportunities
Before submitting a query, please consult the EU Funding & Tenders’ Portal, specifically its Online Manual and FAQs section. The Portal includes information on past and ongoing calls for proposals or tenders, project partner search and results of certain EU projects. The Online Manual provides detailed guidance on the application process, the grant signature and grant management. It also has a section dedicated to expert evaluators.
For detailed information on EU-funded projects in the field of research, and their results, please consult the Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) website.
Should you still have questions related to European research, available funding instruments in the field of research, or the validation of participants, please contact the Research Enquiry Service. For additional information on funding opportunities or project partner search, you may also get in touch with your National Contact Point (NCP). It is possible to filter NCP by programme (e.g. here a selection for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions).
