European Commission: Justice

Unlike an EC grant for a transnational action ('action grant'), which helps to co-finance an one-off action which is over and above the organisation's normal activities and which has a budget that is specific to that action, an operating grant is broader in scope.

Operating grants are intended to co-finance the operating expenses that enable a body to have an independent existence and to implement a range of activities envisaged in their work programmes that correspond to the pursuit of its statutory objectives. The activities must contribute to the development and implementation of one or several of objectives of the Daphne programme.

The indicative budget available for operating grants under this call is EUR 2.500.000.

The maximum individual grant amount is EUR 300.000.

The maximum rate of EU co-funding is 80% of the eligible costs.

Please be aware that the application procedure through the online system PRIAMOS must be finalised well in advance of the deadline. All necessary documents for applying such as application form, budget form and compulsory annexes can only be accessed through PRIAMOS.

The deadline for submitting the application is 16 December 2010 12:00 noon CET
