Dear applicants,
We would like to remind you that the final decision regarding the projects which will be invited to submit a complete application (in the second step of the call) will only be taken at the end of September, during the Monitoring Committee meeting.
We are now able to announce that the formal evaluation of the Expressions of interest submitted in the framework of the first call for project proposals has now been completed. We have received a number of 821 valid applications, which, in a first step, have all been carefully checked in order to ensure their formal compliance with the Programme requirements.
It's no longer a secret that the number of expressions of interest (EoIs) submitted for the first call of the South East Europe Programme has exceeded the most optimistic expectations. The figures speak for themselves: the total number of expressions of interest submitted until the deadline was 1099 (out of which 258 were duplications). The number of EoIs that are being evaluated is therefore 821. It looks like a long, hot summer is ahead of the JTS!...
If you have ever asked yourself only one of these questions, then you are in the right place. This article will not provide any answers to the above questions, but it will try to make the case for knowledge management in territorial cooperation programmes. It does not imply that at present there is no such thing as knowledge management in the way that territorial cooperation programmes are organised, but it argues that it is high time that we increase our efforts and we start working towards systematically using knowledge management in our operations.
The first call for project proposals is now closed.
The official launch of the South East Europe Transnational Cooperation Programme took place in Budapest on 27-28 March 2008.
