20 Expressions of Interest approved
Our Steering Committee has approved 20 new expressions of interest for projects that seek to raise the profile of the North Sea Region within our four programme priorities:
 |
Priority 1: Thinking growth | |
 |
Priority 2: Eco-innovation |
|
 |
Priority 3: Sustainable NSR | |
 |
Priority 4: Green transport and mobility |
Applicants had submitted 41 expressions of interest in total, so the approval rate is close to 50%.
The ideas presented in the approved submissions cover a wide range of topics; what they have in common is a strong, transnational set-up involving complementary expertise from the countries around the North Sea, and the fact that they tackle common challenges that are of specific importance to the North Sea Region.
The figure below shows the distribution of the 20 approved expressions of interest on the four Programme priorities:
The partnerships behind the approved expressions of interest may now start to develop full applications for Call 5 (open Friday 29 December 2017 - Monday 5 March 2018).
