With the onset of spring we are proposing a series of new calls on media and culture, digital, health enterprise and migration.
Spring 2022 European calls for proposals: the “awakening”
After an already rich winter round , the spring months offer us many new opportunities. Many are again related to Digital Europe a and EU4Health, two of the most innovative programs of this seven-year period. But there is ample room for other areas: Creative Europe (digital media, market development and collaborations, films, literary works and more); the long-awaited “ Erasmus for young entrepreneurs “; interesting calls related to the ever-present topic of migration – and more.
