Scope

The call supports the functioning of established SEAPs, including for the purpose of establishing, managing and maintaining defence industrial readiness pools. Proposals should support established SEAPs in their initial operations for a duration of at least one year. It is a continuous call for proposals for supporting actions under the programme, with lump sum grants.

Expected impact

Supported SEAPs are expected to rent office space, recruit personnel, and start and sustain operations for at least one year.

Budget

The Commission is considering a total budget of €10,000,000, and the maximum EU contribution per funded project will not exceed €2,000,000, so that several proposals can be funded. Depending on the number and quality of proposals and the Union contributions requested, the Commission may reallocate budget between calls.
