Call for Applications: Setting up of Cross-Border Coordination Points

The primary objective is to facilitate the creation and functioning of Cross-Border Coordination Points that address legal and administrative obstacles in cross-border contexts, particularly in land or maritime border regions between neighbouring Member States, including the possibility of establishing joint cross-border coordination points by neighbouring Member States.

The total available budget for this call is EUR 1,561,970, with funding allocated to up to fourteen projects. Each selected project can receive a maximum contribution of EUR 120,000, and the project duration must not exceed eighteen months.

The call focuses on enabling both established and prospective Cross-Border Coordination Points to become operational through a wide range of eligible activities. These include the acquisition or rental of real estate, procurement of digital systems, furniture, and office equipment, as well as the purchase of office supplies.

To be eligible, applicants must be legal entities or permanent entities as defined under the Regulation and must be established in an EU Member State. They must be officially acknowledged by a Member State as either an established or prospective Cross-Border Coordination Point through a formal letter of acknowledgment. In the case of permanent entities, one legal entity must apply on behalf of the group with the authority to assume legal and financial responsibilities.

Applicants must not have received support under the previous call on the same topic and are required to register and validate their status in the Participant Register. International organisations may apply only if acknowledged as coordination points, while entities without legal personality may participate under specific conditions. EU bodies are not eligible to be part of the consortium.
