During August many new calls for proposals came out, in almost all Italian regions and on some major European programs. Let’s find out together.
Our new Tenders Portal
Our Call for Tenders Portal is one of the important new features of our Guide. The Calls Portal aids consultation of upcoming calls for proposals, offering a selection of European, regionally and nationally managed and territorial cooperation programs. The Portal allows you to sort calls by type, by program, by due date, by publication date, and by keyword. We will continue to offer a periodic review with a summary of the main news. You will find all notices on the appropriate Portal. Go to the Tenders portal.
