European Partnership on Sport 2013
Overview
In the framework of the implementation of the second year of the Preparatory Action European Partnership on Sports, the Commission has launched a call for proposals to support transnational projects presented by public bodies or civil society organisations in the field of sport.
The main novelty in relation to last year is that in the 2013 call for proposals the private third-party funding is optional: Where third-party private funding co-finances the project's eligible costs, the percentage will translate in additional award points.
Three areas will be covered:
(1) Strengthening of good governance and dual careers in sport through support for the mobility of volunteers, coaches, managers and staff of non-profit sport organisations.
(2) Protecting athletes, especially the youngest, from health and safety hazards by improving training and competition conditions.
(3) Promoting traditional European sports and games.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are limited to:
- public bodies
- not for profit organisations
Aplicants must have a legal status and a registered head office in one of the EU Member States.
Budget and project duration
The budget available for this call for proposals is €2,650,000 and co-financing will be provided to a maximum of 80% of total eligible costs with the applicant providing the matching 20%. Staff costs must not exceed 50% of this. Applications with additional third party funding will receive additional award points.
Projects must start between 1 January 2014 and 31 March 2014 and end no later than 30 June 2015.
