"Networks Combating Social Exclusion and Discrimination" and "European Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008" - two Calls for proposals open within EU programmes.
Networks Combating Social Exclusion and Discrimination
Deadline for bid submission: 30 July 2007
A new Call (VP/2007/013) has been issued under PROGRESS, which aims to support key EU networks that share the objectives of the programme. PROGRESS recognises that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and European networks have a vital role to play in influencing policy and defending people’s rights. The Call aims to provide stable and regular support for networks over the three year period from January 2008 to December 2010. Eligible networks are those active in combating social exclusion and discrimination, promoting gender equality and the integration of disabled people and representing Roma people. The Call does not aim to support individual projects. For further information:
