A continuous call system is in place for the submission of small-scale project applications, meaning that applications can be submitted at any time.

Open and upcoming calls for regular projects will be announced on this webpage as well as social media well in advance of the deadline, so it is worth checking for regular updates. The Interreg Aurora Monitoring Committee may decide on a specific focus or special requirements for individual calls. The call for applications and guidance will clearly outline any special requirements.
Calls for regular project applications will be launched regularly, approximately twice a year. Further down on this webpage you will find a text section with more information about each call.
