We fund selected projects that promote cross-border climate action in Europe. Funding of between 120,000 and 1 Million euros will be awarded per project, following a Europe-wide call for project ideas that we put out every year.
Are you interested in EUKI funding? Read the financing information on the current call for project ideas when the application phase starts.
The first step is to provide an outline of your project: explain the existing challenges and goals, and the actions needed to achieve them. You can find the information on financing and all other necessary documents in the document box below, when the application phase starts:
All project outlines received in full by the deadline will be reviewed based on fixed criteria.
If your project outline is selected by the EUKI, you will be invited to prepare a full project proposal in Step 2. You must submit the proposal within four to six weeks after the invitation and find the relevant documents below.
Congratulations! Once your project proposal has been accepted and the grant agreement (see example) signed, you can start implementing project activities. At the same time, you will also begin the financial management of the project. You find all the key information about managing your project, including some helpful tutorials, on the For Projects page.
The application window for the 7th EUKI call for project ideas closed on 13 Januar 2023.
Updates on the next EUKI call for project ideas will be pusblished on this webseite, in the EUKI newsletter and on our Social Media channels Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
At the Info Day, the teams behind EUKI and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) will give an overview of the eligibility criteria, financing objectives and target groups. This event will help you to write a suitable project proposal for the focus topics.
Please carefully read the full Information on Financing for the 7th call for project ideas before submitting your project outline.
Project outlines should be prepared in English, indicating the issue to be addressed, project goals and planned measures. These must be submitted by the deadline using only the online application tool (platform for project outlines) on the EUKI website.
All project outlines received in full by the deadline will be evaluated. A shortlist of promising project ideas will then be drawn up based on the selection criteria and limited by the available budget.
Project ideas not selected for financing will be notified by email.
Organisations on the shortlist will be invited to submit a full project proposal within four to six weeks. The invitation is sent by email to the main implementer.
Information sessions on proposal development will be offered to the organisations selected. It is provisionally scheduled to take place in June 2023.
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to submit their full project proposals.
Incomplete project proposals – including proposals without English translations – can result in exclusion from the selection procedure and thus from any project funding.
Congratulations! You’ve made it and your project can start.
