The European Youth Foundation (EYF) is a fund established by the Council of Europe to provide financial support for European youth activities. It aims to encourage co-operation amongst young people in Europe by providing financial support to youth activities. It concerns activities, which serve the promotion of peace, understanding and co-operation in a spirit of respect for human rights, democracy, tolerance and solidarity.

The EYF provides financial support to the following types of activity undertaken by youth NGOs or networks, or by other NGOs involved in the areas of youth work relevant to the Council of Europe's youth policies and work:
- educational, social, cultural and humanitarian activities of a European character
- activities aiming at strengthening peace and co-operation in Europe
- activities designed to promote closer co-operation and better understanding among young people in Europe, particularly by developing the exchange of information
- activities intended to stimulate mutual aid in Europe and in the developing countries for cultural, educational and social purposes
- studies, research and documentation on youth matters.

In order to obtain the EYF's support, it is essential that projects fall within the Council of Europe's values and work, and the Youth Sector Priorities for 2022/2023.

1. Revitalising pluralistic democracy
2. Young people’s access to rights
3. Living together in peaceful and inclusive societies
4. Youth work.

The EYF may support the following operations:
A. International activity - including meetings of young people or youth leaders in Europe in order to promote participation and intercultural learning. Participants must represent at least 7 Council of Europe member states. It has to be run by an international team (4 nationalities represented in the project team). The EYF will cover up two-thirds of the total cost. Maximum grant: € 20,000.

B. Annual work plan - including a series of activities over a period of one year, interconnected and which contribute to the same broader aim. Each activity/element should contribute to the aim of the work plan and the accomplishments of the work plan as a whole should contribute to the global purpose of the organisation. These activities would be part of and support your NGO's strategy or action plan for the coming years. Maximum grant: € 50,000.

C. Structural grant for 2 consecutive years - The European Youth Foundation may, every 2 years, grant international non-governmental youth organisations or networks a contribution to cover part of the general administrative costs involved in running their activities at European level. Maximum annual grant: € 25,000 per year for 2 years (i.e. a maximum of €50,000 for 2 years).

D. One-off structural grant (non-renewable) - The Foundation may also contribute to the administrative costs of regional networks, in order to help them to establish a European structure. Maximum one-off grant: € 15,000.

The Quality Label is a process that certifies that an organisation is able and willing to carry out high quality solidarity activities in compliance with the principles, objectives and quality standards of the European Solidarity Corps. Obtaining a Quality Label is a precondition for participation in Volunteering activities.

Types

There are two main types of Quality Label, depending on the role(s) that the organisation wishes to play in the process:

• Host role - covers the full range of activities related to hosting a Solidarity Corps participant, including the development of a programme of the young person's activities and providing guidance and support to the participant during all the phases as appropriate
• Support role - entails supporting, preparing and/or training participants before departure, a mediation between them and their host organisations and/or providing support to participants upon return from their activity. All organisations who are awarded a Quality Label will be able to publish their opportunities in the European Solidarity Corps Portal and also to join other organisations in developing and providing opportunities for young people.

Recognition

The Quality Label is awarded for the entire duration of the programming period, subject to continued compliance with requirements. The Quality Label remains valid until the end of the last activity in which the organisation is involved as partner, implemented through a grant of the current programming period. The National Agencies will monitor compliance and may carry out periodical reassessments.

In order to facilitate partner-finding, profiles of all organisations holding a Quality Label are published in a database of Quality Label organisations. 

Additionally, as soon as the Quality Label has been awarded, organisations have access to the European Solidarity Corps Portal where they are invited to advertise activities for which they are looking for participants.
Organisations have to make use of the European Solidarity Corps Portal's database to search for participants. 

NB: Organisations who are holders of a Quality Label for volunteering will have their Quality Label validity extended for the same role, until 31 December 2027; and Organisations who are holders of Erasmus+ volunteering accreditations will be able to use their accreditation to take part in activities for the same role until 31 December 2021.

Who can apply

• Quality Label - any public or private entity, whether non-profit or profit making, local, regional, national or international, legally established in a programme country or a neighbouring partner country.
• Quality Label for lead organisations - any public or private entity, whether non-profit or profit making, local, regional, national or international that has been legally established in a programme country for at least one year.

Where to apply

To the National Agency of the country in which the applicant organisation is established for organisations established in a programme country.

International organisations that are not established in a programme country may apply at any National Agency.

To the relevant SALTO for organisations established in a neighbouring partner country:

• SALTO South East Europe for organisations established in Western Balkans countries;
• SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus for organisations established in Eastern Partnership countries, the territory of Russia as recognised by international law and Norway;
• SALTO EuroMed for organisations established in Southern Mediterranean.

Deadline
Applications for Quality Label can be submitted on a continuous basis here.

For further details, please check the European Solidarity Corps Guide.

The European Solidarity Corps - Quality Label Is a compulsory accreditation for organisations interested to participate in the European Solidarity Corps volunteering, traineeships and job activities. It ensures consistently high standards in Solidarity Corps’ activities and help organisations find partners.

What it is

Depending on the type of solidarity activity an organisation wants to be involved in and its role, there are different requirements in order to obtain the Quality Label. An organisation can apply for a supporting and/or host role for volunteering and/or Traineeships and Jobs. 

This is required to ensure compliance of the participating organisations with the principles and objectives of the European Solidarity Corps, as regards their responsibilities during all stages of solidarity activities. All organisations holding a Quality Label gain access to the European Solidarity Corps database. However, having a quality label will not automatically lead to funding. 

How it works

An organisation can apply for different scopes and roles of Quality Label, depending on the Actions it wishes to be involved in, as well as for a combination of several Quality Labels:

• Quality Label for Volunteering (supporting and/or host role);
• Quality Label for Traineeships;
• Quality Label for Jobs;

A Quality Label is not needed for Solidarity projects.

The Quality Label is awarded for the entire duration of the programming period (2018-2020) and will remain valid until the end of the last project in which the organisation is involved, implemented through a grant of the current programming period. In order to facilitate partner-finding, profiles of all organisations holding a Quality Label are published in a database of Quality Label organisations.  Additionally, as soon as the Quality Label has been awarded, organisations have access to the European Solidarity Corps Portal where they are invited to advertise activities for which they are looking for participants. Organisations have to make use of the European Solidarity Corps Portal's database to search for participants. 

Organisations who had been accredited under the European Voluntary Service (EVS)/Erasmus+ volunteering programmes do not need to apply for the Quality Label.

Il Marchio di Qualità è un processo che certifica che un'organizzazione è in grado e vuole svolgere attività di solidarietà di alta qualità in conformità con i principi, gli obiettivi e gli standard di qualità del Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà. L'ottenimento di un Marchio di Qualità è un prerequisito per la partecipazione alle attività di volontariato.

Vi sono due tipologie principali di Marchio di Qualità, a seconda del ruolo (o dei ruoli) che l'organizzazione desidera svolgere nel processo:
Ruolo di accoglienza - copre l'intera gamma di attività relative all'accoglienza di un partecipante al Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà, compreso lo sviluppo di un programma di attività del giovane e la guida e il sostegno al partecipante durante tutte le fasi.
Ruolo di supporto - comporta il sostegno, la preparazione e/o la formazione dei partecipanti prima della partenza, la mediazione tra loro e le organizzazioni ospitanti e/o il sostegno ai partecipanti al ritorno dalla loro attività. Tutte le organizzazioni che ricevono un marchio di qualità potranno pubblicare le loro opportunità nel Portale europeo del Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà e anche unirsi ad altre organizzazioni per sviluppare e fornire opportunità ai giovani.

Riconoscimento
Il Marchio di Qualità viene assegnato per l'intera durata del periodo di programmazione, a condizione che i requisiti siano costantemente rispettati, e rimane valido fino alla fine dell'ultima attività in cui l'organizzazione è coinvolta come partner, realizzata attraverso una sovvenzione del periodo di programmazione in corso. Le Agenzie Nazionali controlleranno la conformità e potranno effettuare rivalutazioni periodiche.

Al fine di facilitare la ricerca di partner, i profili di tutte le organizzazioni in possesso di un Marchio di Qualità sono pubblicati in un database delle organizzazioni con marchio di qualità. 
Inoltre, non appena il Marchio di Qualità viene assegnato, le organizzazioni hanno accesso al portale del Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà dove sono invitate a pubblicizzare le attività per le quali cercano partecipanti.
Le organizzazioni devono utilizzare il database del Portale del Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà per cercare i partecipanti.

European Solidarity Corps Volunteering Teams in high priority areas are large-scale projects supporting volunteering activities carried out by young people from at least two different countries coming together to express solidarity by implementing short-term interventions that address common European challenges in policy areas defined each year at EU level. 
This year’s priority is focused on COVID-19 impact and recovery, particularly through supporting the health and social care systems with activities tackling prevention, promotion and support in the field of health; addressing major health challenges.

Objectives
Volunteering Teams in high priority areas will particularly aim to:

• contribute to the improvement of health and well-being of vulnerable people, including persons affected by chronic or life-threatening diseases (e.g. cancer);
• contribute to building inclusive societies through protecting vulnerable groups as people with drug-alcohol dependence, elderly and children, migrants, homeless etc. from COVID-19 impact and other diseases
• foster European cooperation to strengthen the capacity of the solidarity sector to tackle common European challenges, such as health crisis, protection of vulnerable groups through networking and exchanging experiences;
• raise awareness about prevention through campaigns, promotion and information dissemination, public discussions in order to improve the general health of European populations.

Organisations should design accessible and inclusive activities, taking into account the views and needs of participants with fewer opportunities.
Volunteering activities should promote environmentally sustainable and responsible behaviour among participants, raising the awareness about the importance of acting to reduce or compensate for the environmental footprint of activities.
Participating organisations are encouraged to make use of digital tools and learning methods to complement their physical activities, to improve the cooperation between partner organisations, and the quality of the activities.

Eligible participating organisations
Any organisation legally established in a programme country or a partner country holding a volunteering Quality Label or valid Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation. Participating organisations must hold a valid volunteering Quality Label or Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation at the latest at the start of the activities they are involved in and during the entire duration of the activities.

Who can apply
Any eligible participating organisation legally established in a programme country and any international organisation. The organisation applies on behalf of all participating organisations involved in the project. The applicant organisation must hold a valid volunteering Quality Label or Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation at the application deadline and during the entire duration of the project.

Eligible activities
- Volunteering Teams are solidarity activities that allow groups of minimum 5 participants to volunteer together for a period between 2 weeks and 2 months. Composition of the team should be international (including participants from at least two different countries) with at least a quarter of team members coming from countries that are different from the country where the activity takes place. In volunteering teams, European Solidarity Corps’ volunteers will carry out tasks for a project over a short period of time. Despite their shorter duration, these activities will be valuable both for the individuals and for the communities benefitting from this service. Volunteers will carry out the activity in a group. This can be an incentive for youngsters who do not feel ready to embark into challenging experiences on their own. The activity will be shorter in its duration. This can foster the participation of those youngsters who cannot commit for a long period of time because of their studies or jobs, but still want to be of help for the community.
The above makes also Volunteering Teams an inclusive format, particularly suitable for a first experience in volunteering and the participation of young people with fewer opportunities. They can thus serve as an entry-way for long-term activities or even provide an incentive to start an own solidarity project.
- Complementary activities are relevant side activities designed to add value and augment the results of the project as well as to strengthen its impact on the local, regional, and/or European level. These complementary activities also aim at raising awareness of the value of volunteering for young people and for communities as well as at strengthening the recognition of the skills and competences gained by the volunteers.
- Preparatory visits are visits to the venues of the volunteering activities before they start to ensure high-quality activities involving young people with fewer opportunities or when the visit is necessary for the implementation of an activity with a strong inclusion dimension. The visit can focus on facilitating and preparing administrative arrangements, building trust and understanding and setting-up a solid partnership between the organisations and people involved;

Project duration
The project duration must be between 12, 24 and 36 months.

Duration of the activity: 2 weeks to 2 months, excluding travel time.
 

Eligible participants: Young people between 18 and 30 years who are legally residing in a programme country or in a partner country neighbouring the EU and have registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal. Minimum 5 participants. The team should be composed of participants coming from at least two different countries and at least a quarter of team members coming from countries that are different from the country where the activity takes place. Young people can only be involved in one activity at a time.

Deadline: 5 October 2021, 17.00 (Brussels time).

For more information please check the Call.

The European Commission co-finances information measures relating to the common agricultural policy (CAP) that aim, in particular, at building trust within the EU and among all citizens, farmers and non-farmers alike. The common agricultural policy (CAP) is a policy for all the citizens of the EU and the benefits that it provides to them must be clearly demonstrated.

Objectives
For the general public, the objective is to raise public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP.
For stakeholders, the objective is to engage with stakeholders (mainly farmers and other parties active in rural areas) in order to further communicate about the CAP to their constituencies, and to the wider public.

 Support will go to actions which should include several of the following types of measures:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material,
- web and social media campaigns
- media events,
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP related issues,

Themes
The proposals for information measures shall illustrate how the CAP should continue contributing towards the delivery of the Commission's political priorities. The common agricultural policy is one of the EU's most important policies. It is a partnership between agriculture and society and between Europe and its farmers. It is a common policy for all the countries of the EU. The CAP has a number of aims such as supporting farmers and improving agricultural production, maintaining rural areas and landscapes, keeping the rural economy alive and helping tackle climate change and the sustainable management of natural resources.

The proposals submitted should:
- provide coherent, objective and comprehensive information, both inside and outside the Union, in order to give an accurate overall picture of the CAP;
- show the benefits of the CAP to Europe, European farmers and European citizens and addressing misperceptions and disinformation about European agriculture and the CAP (using facts and backed up with data with a view to raising public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP);
- show the role of farming in society and promote understanding of the enormous contribution which the EU agri-food sector provides to the wider EU economy;
- address the sustainability of agriculture, focusing on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of the CAP.

Activities
The information measures should include one or several activities such as:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material;
- web and social media campaigns;
- media events;
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP-related issues.

Target public:
- rural communities, agricultural stakeholders, farmers and other potential beneficiaries of rural development measures;
- general public (with particular attention to young people in urban areas)

More specifically:
- for school children, teachers and university students: novel approaches should be used to engage with young people and raise their awareness of the CAP and the contribution that it makes in many areas such as the climate change challenge, food, healthy and high quality eating as a lifestyle choice, in relation also with the EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables and Tartu Call.
- for stakeholders: it should be ensured that there is greater awareness of the contribution that the CAP makes to the sustainability of agriculture.

The information measures should be implemented:
- at multiregional or national level of an EU Member State, or 
- at European Union level (in two or more Member States).

The maximum duration of information measures is 12 months.

Budget
Total budget earmarked for the co-financing of activities is estimated at EUR 4 000 000. 
The grant amount will be minimum EUR 75 000 and maximum EUR 500 000.

Who can apply
Any organisation legally established in an EU Member State: farmers' or rural development organisations, European associations, non-governmental organisations, public authorities of the Member States, media companies, educational institutions, universities and research centers. 

For UK applicants: Please note that until the United Kingdom leaves the EU, nothing changes with regard to the participation in EU programmes. Please be aware however that the eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of our grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during that period (without an agreement ensuring eligibility for UK beneficiaries), you will cease to receive EU funding or be required to leave the project on the basis of the contractual provisions on termination.

Deadline: 21 January 2021, 17:00 CET.

L’obiettivo generale dell’invito a presentare proposte è creare una relazione di fiducia nei confronti dell’Unione europea e tra tutti i cittadini, siano essi agricoltori o no. La politica agricola comune (PAC) è una politica per tutti i cittadini dell’UE e i benefici che essa offre loro devono essere dimostrati chiaramente. Per il pubblico in generale, l’obiettivo è sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica in merito all’importanza del sostegno dell’UE all’agricoltura e allo sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC. Per i portatori di interesse, l’obiettivo è collaborare con le parti interessate (soprattutto gli agricoltori e gli altri soggetti attivi nelle zone rurali), allo scopo di migliorare la comunicazione sulla PAC con le loro circoscrizioni e con il pubblico in generale.

Il sostegno andrà ad azioni che dovrebbero includere diversi dei seguenti tipi di misure:
- produzione e distribuzione di materiale multimediale o audiovisivo,
- campagne web e social media
- eventi mediatici,
- conferenze, seminari, workshop e studi su questioni relative alla PAC.

Temi
Le proposte di misure di informazione illustrano come la PAC dovrebbe continuare a contribuire alla realizzazione delle priorità politiche della Commissione. La politica agricola comune è una delle politiche più importanti dell'UE. È un partenariato tra l'agricoltura e la società e tra l'Europa e i suoi agricoltori. È una politica comune per tutti i paesi dell'UE. La PAC ha una serie di obiettivi come sostenere gli agricoltori e migliorare la produzione agricola, mantenere aree e paesaggi rurali, mantenere viva l'economia rurale e aiutare ad affrontare i cambiamenti climatici e la gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali.
Le proposte presentate dovrebbero:
- fornire informazioni coerenti, obiettive e complete, sia all'interno che all'esterno dell'Unione, al fine di fornire un quadro generale accurato della PAC;
- mostrare i benefici della PAC per l'Europa, gli agricoltori europei e i cittadini europei e affrontare le idee sbagliate e la disinformazione sull'agricoltura europea e la PAC (utilizzando fatti e supportati da dati al fine di sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla pertinenza del sostegno dell'UE all'agricoltura e sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC);
- mostrare il ruolo dell'agricoltura nella società e promuovere la comprensione dell'enorme contributo che il settore agroalimentare dell'UE fornisce alla più ampia economia dell'UE;
- affrontare la sostenibilità dell'agricoltura, concentrandosi sulle dimensioni economica, ambientale e sociale della PAC.

Attività
Le misure di informazione dovrebbero includere una o più attività quali:
- produzione e distribuzione di materiale multimediale o audiovisivo;
- campagne web e social media;
- eventi mediatici;
- conferenze, seminari, workshop e studi su questioni relative alla PAC.

Pubblico target:
- comunità rurali, parti interessate dell'agricoltura, agricoltori e altri potenziali beneficiari delle misure di sviluppo rurale;
- grande pubblico (con particolare attenzione ai giovani nelle aree urbane)

Più specificamente:
- Per bambini in età scolare, insegnanti e studenti universitari: nuovi approcci dovrebbero essere utilizzati per interagire con i giovani e sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla PAC e sul contributo che essa fornisce in molte aree come la sfida del cambiamento climatico, il cibo, un'alimentazione sana e di alta qualità come scelta di vita, in relazione anche al EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables e il Tartu Call.
- Per le parti interessate: si dovrebbe garantire una maggiore consapevolezza del contributo che la PAC offre alla sostenibilità dell'agricoltura.

Le misure di informazione dovrebbero essere attuate:
- a livello multiregionale o nazionale di uno Stato membro dell'UE, o
- a livello di Unione europea (in due o più Stati membri).

La durata massima delle misure di informazione è di 12 mesi.

Bilancio
Il bilancio totale destinato al cofinanziamento di attività è stimato a 4 000 000 di EUR.
La disponibilità del bilancio dipende ancora dall'adozione del bilancio per il 2020 da parte dell'autorità di bilancio.
L'importo della sovvenzione sarà di minimo 75000 EUR e massimo 500000 EUR.

Chi può presentare domanda
Qualsiasi organizzazione legalmente stabilita in uno Stato membro dell'UE: organizzazioni di agricoltori o di sviluppo rurale, associazioni europee, organizzazioni non governative, autorità pubbliche degli Stati membri, società di media, istituti di istruzione, università e centri di ricerca.

Per i candidati nel Regno Unito: si noti che fino a quando il Regno Unito non lascia l'UE, nulla cambia per quanto riguarda la partecipazione ai programmi dell'UE. Si noti tuttavia che i criteri di ammissibilità devono essere rispettati per l'intera durata della sovvenzione. Se il Regno Unito si ritira dall'UE durante tale periodo (senza un accordo che garantisca l'idoneità per i beneficiari del Regno Unito), si cesserà di ricevere finanziamenti UE o verrà richiesto di abbandonare il progetto sulla base delle disposizioni contrattuali sulla risoluzione.

Scadenza: 21 gennaio 2021, h.17.00.

Town twinning is aimed at activities that involve or promote direct exchanges between European citizens through their participation in town twinning activities and encourage networking and cooperation between twinned towns. The measure Town twinning is the first Measure of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the within the"Europe for Citizens 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process.

Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation is directed at activities covering civic participation, focusing in particular on European Union policies.Initiatives developing opportunities for mutual understanding, intercultural learning, solidarity, societal engagement and volunteering at EU level. 
 

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps.
In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

Scopul său este de a integra cercetarea, activismul și munca artistică.

Ideea principală din spatele conceptului Bienalei Varșovia este de a grupa și structura expertiza în cultură și artă, precum și în politică.

De la acest nivel, sunt create și dezbătute noi idei artistice, politice, sociale, economice și ecologice, construind modele alternative de funcționare în lumea post-criză.

Conceptul curatorial pentru Bienala Varșovia se concentrează pe activitățile instituției în jurul a trei dualități: artă/cultură, cercetare/discurs și activism/politică. Integrarea acestor dualități de expresie duce la consolidarea reciprocă a capacităților și sinergiilor și evită idei, lucrări de artă sau inițiative deja dezvoltate.

Candidatul ar trebui să abordeze direct contextul prezentat de Bienala Varșovia și să se concentreze pe posibilitățile viitoare în materie de bunuri comune transnaționale, politica translocală dincolo de statele națiuni, relațiile dintre Europa Centrală și de Est și regiunea araba din Orientul Mijlociu. Candidații:

-nu se aplică niciun criteriu de naționalitate sau de vârstă; cu toate acestea, candidatul trebuie să aibă reședința sau să lucreze în regiunea geografică euro-arabă și din Orientul Mijlociu (inclusiv Turcia);

- profesia solicitantului trebuie să fie una dintre următoarele: curator, artist, cercetător, operator cultural;

-cererile trebuie formulate de către persoane fizice și nu de organizații. Doar trei membri ai unui grup pot solicita un grant pentru același proiect;

- solicitanții pot primi doar trei granturi RCF și se admite o singură solicitare de persoană la fiecare apel;

- călătoria trebuie să se desfășoare în perioada Bienalei Varșovia, din martie până în iunie 2019;

- călătoria către o altă destinație din regiunea Europei Centrale și de Est și regiunea araba a Orientului Mijlociu este, de asemenea, posibilă dacă obiectivul călătoriei are o legătură tangibilă cu Bienala Varșovia.

Candidaturile pot fi redactate în arabă, engleză sau franceză.

Termen limită: 31 decembrie 2018.

2. Der Roberto Cimetta-Fonds und die Biennale Warschau bieten im Rahmen der Biennale Warschau im Mai und Juni 2019 Reisestipendien an, um die Mobilität und Kreativität von Künstlern zwischen Mittelosteuropa und der Region Arabischer Naher Osten zu erleichtern und zu steigern.

The European Investment Bank channels most of its institutional relations with Universities through an EIB Universities Research Action consisting of three different programmes.

1. EIBURS, the EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme, a programme to support EU University Research Centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the EIB.

Main features of EIBURS:
EIB sponsorships are awarded through a competitive process to interested University Departments or Research Centres associated with Universities in the EU, candidate or potential candidate countries, working on research topics of major interest to the Bank.
The sponsorship aims to expand their activities in these areas.
An EIBURS sponsorship will entitle the beneficiary (the EIBURS Centre) to obtain up to 100 000 euros/year, for a period of three years, in exchange for the commitment to develop additional activities to those normally carried out by the centre. These activities will be jointly agreed and will entail the delivery of a variety of outputs (research, education, networking, dissemination of results, etc.) that will be the subject of a contractual agreement with the Bank.

The initiative on academic and research activities is expected to come from the University. The Bank could, however, propose some specific activities, in particular regarding research and continuous education involving EIB staff.
The lines of research to be financed by EIBURS are defined by the CBU (Comité BEI-Universités / EIB-Universities Committee). The number of new EIBURS sponsorships made by the EIB will depend on the available budget.

Universities or research centres in EU, Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries are eligible to apply.

For the 2020-2021 period, the research theme is:
- Impact of gender mainstreaming in infrastructure projects – Evidence from a water project in Madagascar

Deadline: 30 April 2021, 24:00 (CET).

Read more about EIBURS here.

 

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI, a programme for financing young researchers working on joint EIB-University projects.

The STAREBEI Programme supports the joint interests of University Centres and EIB staff through the sponsorship of junior researchers interested in carrying out research projects proposed by the Bank under the joint supervision of a University tutor and an EIB tutor.

This synergy between the academic world and the Bank’s professionals should provide a rich experience for young researchers and produce outputs contributing to the know-how of both the Bank and Academia. Unlike EIBURS which is based on activities proposed by the University Centres, research initiatives for STAREBEI must originate from within the Bank.
The STAREBEI programme has a different approach to the traditional in-service training at the EIB. It is research-oriented and has stronger academic requirements. The duration of the stage is longer, but normally only short periods will be spent in Luxembourg at the EIB headquarters. The remuneration for the researcher will be competitive and based on the conditions prevailing at the partner University.

Read more about STAREBEI here.

 

3. Partnering with academia

The European Investment Bank Group (the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund) has many partnerships with universities or university networks –which can also include non-university organisations such as research centres, foundations- to exchange knowledge and expertise, and to stimulate discussion on areas of interest.
More specifically, the EIB Institute promotes student’ consultancy projects called capstones and organises academic courses provided by EIB Group staff on the EIB Group’s role, missions and activities.

Banca Europeană de Investiții (EIB) gestionează majoritatea relațiilor sale instituționale cu universitățile prin Acțiunea de Cercetare Universitară a EIB constând în trei programe diferite.

1. EIBURS, Programul EIB de sponsorizare a cercetării universitare (University Research Sponsorship Programme), un program care susține Centrele de Cercetare Universitară din UE, care efectuează cercetări în domenii de interes major pentru bancă.

Principalele trăsături ale EIBURS:

Programul EIBURS acordă subvenții printr-un proces competitiv departamentelor din cadrul facultăților sau centrelor de cercetare asociate universităților din UE, țările candidate sau potențial candidate pentru aderarea la UE, care efectuează cercetări în domenii de interes major pentru bancă.

Prin aceste subvenții se urmăește extindă activităților acestora în acele domenii. 

Sponsorizarea EIBURS va îndreptăți beneficiarul (Centrul EIBURS) să obțină până la 100.000 de euro pe an, pentru o perioadă de trei ani, în schimbul angajamentului dezvoltării activităților adiționale celor efectuate în mod normal de către centru. Aceste activități vor fi convenite de comun acord și vor implica livrarea unei varietăți de rezultate (cercetare, educație, networking, diseminarea rezultatelor, etc.) care vor fi subiectul unei înțelegeri contractuale cu Banca.

Inițiativa activităților academice și de cercetare este așteptată să vină din partea universităților. Totuși, Banca ar putea să propună anumite activități specifice, în special cele privind cercetarea și educația continuă care implică personalul EIB.

Liniile de cercetare care urmează să fie finanțate de EIBURS sunt definite de CBU - Comitee BEI-Universites/EIB-Universities Committee (Comitetul Universităților EIB). Numărul subvențiilor EIBURS oferite de EIB depinde de bugetul disponibil.

Universitățile sau centrele de cercetare din țările UE, țările candidate și potențial candidate pentru aderarea la UE sunt eligibili să candideze.

Pentru perioada 2020 - 2021, temele de cercetare sunt:

-„Impactul integrării perspectivei de gen asupra proiectelor de infrastructură – Dovezi dintr-un proiect pentru apă în Madagascar”

Termen limită: 30 aprilie 2021, 24:00 (CET).

Mai multe informații despre EIBURS găsești aici.

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI (Stagii de Cercetare EIB), un program pentru finanțarea tinerilor cercetători care lucrează la proiecte comune BEI - Universitate.

Programul STAREBEI suține interesele comune ale centrelor universitare și personalului EIB prin sponsorizarea cercetătorilor juniori interesați să realizeze proiecte de cercetare propuse de Bancă sub supravegherea comună a unui tutor universitar și a unui tutor EIB.

Această sinergie între profesioniști și mediul academic din domeniul bancar trebuie să ofere o experiență bogată tinerilor cercetători și să producă rezultate care să contribuie la know-how-ul Băncii și al mediului academic. Spre deosebire de EIBURS, care se bazează pe activități propuse de centre universitare, inițiativele de cercetare pentru STAREBEI trebuie să provină de la Bancă. 

Programul STAREBEI are o abordare diferită de formarea tradițională continuă la EIB. Este orientat spre cercetare și are cerințe academice mai stricte. Durata stagiului este mai lungă, dar, în mod normal, vor fi petrecute perioade scurte la Luxemburg, la sediul EIB. Remunerația cercetătorului va fi competitivă și se va baza pe condițiile în vigoare la universitatea parteneră.

Mai multe informații despre STAREBEI găsești aici.

3. Parteneriat cu mediul academic

Grupul Băncii Europene de Investiții (Banca Europeană de Investiții și Fondul European de Investiții) a încheiat numeroase parteneriate cu universități sau rețele universitare - care pot include, de asemenea, organizații non-universitare, cum ar fi centre de cercetare, fundații - pentru a face schimb de cunoștințe și expertiză și pentru a stimula discuțiile pe domenii de interes.

Mai precis, Institutul BEI promovează proiectele de consultanță pentru studenți, numite “capstones”  și organizează cursuri academice oferite de personalul Grupului BEI în cadrul rolului, misiunilor și activităților Grupului BEI.

Civil Society Projects explore innovative methods of citizens’ participation. The Civil Society Projects aims to support a variety of projects of a transnational and cross-sectoral dimension, directly involving citizens. Those projects should gather citizens from different horizons, who will act together or debate on common European issues, at local and European level.

This third measure is part of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the “Europe for Citizens” 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process. 
The Civil Society Projects measure is directed at activities involving citizens and at bringing together people from local communities across Europe to share and exchange experiences, opinions and values, to learn from history and to build for the future. It encourages meetings, exchanges and debates among European citizens from different countries and through different means.
 

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps.
In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

2.3 - Civil Society Projects
The specific objectives are to support projects gathering citizens in activities directly linked to EU policies, providing an opportunity for direct participation in the policy making process.
A Civil Society Project must include at least two of the following three types of activities:
- promotion of societal engagement and solidarity: activities able to promoting debate/campaigns/actions on the themes of common interest in the larger framework of the rights and responsibilities of the Union citizens and making the link to the European political agenda and policy making process;
- gathering of opinions: activities aiming at gathering the individual opinions of the citizens on a specific topic to be yearly defined, favouring a bottom up approach (including the use of social networks, webinars, etc.) and media literacy;
- volunteering: activities promoting solidarity among Union citizens and beyond.

 

Applicant and partners
- Type of organisation: non-profit organisations, including civil society organisations, educational, cultural or research institutions, other organisations involved in the project can also be public local/regional authorities.
- Number of Partners: A project must involve organisations from at least 3 eligible countries of which at least two are an EU Member State.

Maximum eligible grant for a project: 150 000 EUR.
The activities must take place in any of the eligible countries.
The project must start within the relevant eligibility period.
Maximum project duration is 18 months.

 

Particpating countries
- 28 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
- Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo.
For British applicants: please be aware that eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of the grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during the grant period without concluding an agreement with the EU ensuring in particular that British applicants continue to be eligible, British applicants will cease to receive EU funding (while continuing, where possible, to participate) or be required to leave the project.
The Programme is potentially open to the following categories of countries provided that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commission:
a) acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates, in accordance with the general principles and general terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective Framework Agreements, Association Council Decisions or similar Agreements;
b) the EFTA countries party to the EEA Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of that Agreement.

Loans are offered by participating banks and student loan agencies on favourable conditions to mobile students and include better than market interest rates and up to two years to allow graduates to get into a job before beginning repayment.
 
The loan scheme is established in cooperation with the European Investment Bank Group and will be gradually put in place over the first few years of the Eramus+programme in the Programme Countries.

Who can apply for a loan
To be eligible to apply students must:
- be a resident of one of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries;
- have successfully completed first cycle higher education studies (Bachelor or equivalent);
- have been accepted for a 2nd cycle programme (Master or equivalent) at a recognised higher education institution (HEI) which holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).

The Master (or equivalent) that they intend to study must:

- be a full programme that will lead to a (Master or equivalent) degree. 

 Amount of loan

Key social safeguards include no collateral by student or parents, favourable interest rate, favourable pay-back terms.

Where to apply
Directly to participating banks, higher education institutions or student loan companies.

More information on the Scheme and the participating financial institutions is available here.

Studenti universitari a livello di master che desiderano completare il loro programma di studi in un altro Paese del Programma, possono presentare domanda per un prestito garantito UE come contributo alle loro spese.

I prestiti vengono offerti dalle banche e le agenzie di prestito a condizioni favorevoli per gli studenti, e comprendono tassi di interesse migliori di quelli del mercato e fino ai due anni, affinché i laureati possano trovare un impiego prima di iniziare il rimborso.

Per essere ammessi alla richiesta di finanziamento gli studenti devono:

• essere residenti in uno dei paesi aderenti al Programma Erasmus+
• aver completato il primo ciclo di studi (laurea triennale o equivalente)
• essere stati accettati per un programma di secondo ciclo (laurea magistrale, master o equivalente) presso un istituto d'istruzione superiore (IIS) riconosciuto titolare della carta Erasmus per l'istruzione superiore (CEIS).
• Il corso di laurea magistrale (o master, o equivalente) che intendono seguire deve: 
• svolgersi in un paese diverso dal proprio paese di residenza e dal paese in cui hanno ottenuto il diploma di laurea triennale (o il diploma equivalente che consente l'accesso al programma di laurea magistrale)
• essere un programma completo che consente il conseguimento di un titolo (master, laurea magistrale o equivalente).

I prestiti possono essere erogati soltanto per studi condotti presso università titolari della carta Erasmus per l'istruzione superiore.

I prestiti hanno un importo massimo di 12 000 EUR per programmi di master di 1 anno e di 18 000 EUR per programmi di 2 anni e possono coprire costi di sostentamento, spese di iscrizione e altri costi legati allo studio in ciascuno dei 33 paesi aderenti al Programma Erasmus+.

Attualmente il regime è messo a disposizione degli studenti residenti nei seguenti paesi partecipanti al programma e che intendono studiare all'estero in un altro paese partecipante al programma:

• Spagna
• Italia (Emilia Romagna)
• Croazia
• Romania
• Turchia

Gli studenti di altri paesi partecipanti al programma possono candidarsi per seguire un corso di laurea magistrale in Spagna. Le università di Lussemburgo e Cipro offrono formule analoghe agli studenti provenienti da tutti gli altri paesi partecipanti al programma che intendano frequentare un corso di studi magistrale presso una delle due università.

Invece di un prestito finanziario, le università offrono servizi in natura (tasse universitarie, spese di alloggio, ecc.) che possono essere rimborsati dopo la laurea. Viceversa, ai prestiti diretti si applica la garanzia dell'UE, per cui non è richiesta alcuna garanzia collaterale.

L'elenco degli intermediari partecipanti è destinato a crescere con l'adesione di altri istituti finanziari e università al programma. Si tratterà molto probabilmente di un processo graduale: per aggiornamenti sulla disponibilità del programma, consulta regolarmente questa pagina.

Gli studenti possono presentare domanda direttamente presso le banche partecipanti, gli istituti di istruzione superiore o le società che erogano prestiti agli studenti.

Per ulteriori informazioni prendere in visione la guida del programma Erasmus+ o contattare l'agenzia nazionale del proprio paese.

The Jean Monnet Networks aim to constitute the support to schools and VET providers for boosting knowledge on how to teach European Union subjects, they will also give an international edge to the learning exercise.

The activities will facilitate a common understanding on learning methodologies about European Union matters among practitioners working in different contexts, facing different challenges and constraints due the national legislations and the structure of the curricula.

The objective of the networks will be twofold. On the one hand, the schools/VET providers will exchange information and practices on what and how they make their learners become more knowledgeable about the EU. On the other hand, teachers may have mobility experiences of a few days to organise and deliver co-teaching / co-tutoring with their partners.

Activities supported
Networks can carry out one or more of the following activities:

• Exchanging information on content and promoting results of methodologies applied;
• Enhancing cooperation between different schools/VET providers giving them international experience and a European standing;
• Exchanging knowledge and mobility for co-teaching;
• Fostering cooperation and creating a solid and sustainable knowledge platform among schools and VET providers.

The project should last three years.
 

Maximum grant award: EUR 300,000.

Who can apply
One school or one VET institute established in an Erasmus+ Programme country on behalf of the partners in the proposed network. Minimum 5 schools and/or VET providers established in at least 3 different Erasmus+
Programme countries.
 
Applications should be sent to the Education, Audiovisual, and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) by 2 June 2021, 17:00 (CET). For further support HEIs should contact the National Agency in their country.

Le Reti Jean Monnet mirano a costituire il supporto alle scuole e agli erogatori di IFP per aumentare le conoscenze su come insegnare le tematiche relative all'Unione europea, e conferire un aspetto internazionale all'esercizio di apprendimento.

Le attività faciliteranno una comprensione comune sulle metodologie di apprendimento delle tematiche relative all'Unione europea tra i professionisti che lavorano in diversi contesti, affrontando diverse sfide e vincoli dovuti alle legislazioni nazionali e alla struttura dei programmi di studio.

L'obiettivo delle reti sarà duplice. Da un lato, le scuole/fornitori di IFP si scambieranno informazioni e pratiche su cosa e come rendono i loro studenti più consapevoli dell'UE. Dall'altro lato, gli insegnanti possono avere esperienze di mobilità di pochi giorni per organizzare e fornire attività di insegnamento / tutoraggio congiunto con i loro partner.

Attività supportate

Le reti possono svolgere una o più delle seguenti attività:
- Scambio di informazioni sui contenuti e promozione dei risultati delle metodologie applicate;
- Miglioramento della cooperazione tra diverse scuole/erogatori di IFP dando loro un'esperienza internazionale e una levatura europea;
- Scambio di conoscenze e mobilità ai fini dell’insegnamento congiunto;
- Promozione della cooperazione e creazione di una piattaforma di conoscenza solida e sostenibile tra le scuole ed erogatori di IFP.

Il progetto deve avere una durata di tre anni.

Contributo massimo per progetto: EUR 300.000.

Chi può candidarsi
-Una scuola o un istituto che eroga IFP con sede in un paese del Programma Erasmus+ per conto dei partner della rete proposta. Minimo 5 scuole e/o erogatori di IFP stabiliti in almeno 3 diversi paesi del Programma Erasmus+.
-Paesi del Programma Erasmus+.

Le domande devono essere inviate all'Agenzia esecutiva per l'istruzione, gli audiovisivi e la cultura (EACEA) entro il 2 giugno 2021, ore 17:00 (CET). Per ulteriore supporto gli IIS dovrebbero contattare l'Agenzia nazionale del loro paese.
