Information on Application Process

The project proposals can be submitted to the IPA ADRIATIC CBC Programme solely during the period when a public call for proposals is open.

The interested applicants have to fill in all the necessary application documents and submit them to the Joint Technical Secretariat in L'Aquila, where the first conformity check is performed. Following the assessments of eligible project applications, the IPA ADRIATIC CBC Joint Monitoring Committee decides on approval and funding of the received eligible project proposals.

The IPA ADRIATIC CBC has closed the first Call for Proposal (one call for each Priority) in October 2009. Information about upcoming calls for proposals will be announced as soon as available.

Preparing a project proposal

When preparing a project proposal, please consult the Applicants' Manual (individually prepared for each call) and check out the Frequently Asked Questions. Please, bear in mind that your project proposal should fit within the Programme priorities, identify tangible output, ensure durable results and respect relevant EU and national policies.

For any additional questions the Joint Technical Secretariat stays at your disposal.

WARNING: HOW TO OPEN CORRECTLY THE APPLICATION FORM FILE

The Application Form is an Excel document and has therefore been programmed using Microsoft Windows; the proper functioning under other systems is not guaranteed. The Italian version of the MS Office 1997-2003 programme has been used as default for developing the Application Form.
Since the Application Form uses several Macro-functionalities in order to make the complex document more user-friendly, Macros have to be activated. Depending on the PC-system, and when opening the excel-document, following cases might occur:

  • a window might pop up asking whether you would like to activate the macro - confirm by ticking "activate/enable Macros"
  • in other cases, you have to do it actively by selecting Menu - Extras/Tools - Macros (in all open workbooks)

The security level has to be set to "medium" or "lower". As in the case of the Macros, it might be that your PC-system has set the security level to "high" by default. You can change the security level by selecting Menu - Extras/Tools - Macros - Security - Security level.
Some automatically calculations would not appear if settings of your Excel programme was set up 'manually' as default. You can change the settings by selecting Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Calculation tab. Finally activate Automatic.
