Application process

The first call of the Central Baltic Programme 2021- 2027 is to be launched in early 2022. Our national Contact Points are happy to provide you information about the basic programme requirements in your own language as well as support you in finding relevant partners.

Possible project ideas can already be discussed with project managers responsible for the programme objective in question. The project idea form can be used to define the project idea in the preparation phase of the project and think about the relevant questions while preparing for consultations.

The application phase is in two steps, meaning that after the first step, feedback on the idea is already given for the applicants. Only the strategically best ideas will be asked to fill in the whole application with all annexes in the second step.

The application will be submitted via joint electronic monitoring system JEMS.
