Deadline: 31-Jul-20
This call for proposals is based on the European Parliament (EP)’s multiannual work programme for grants in the area of communication (2020-2021).
The purpose of this call for proposals is to select action proposals for the award of grants for media actions (television, radio, online and/or written press). This call for proposals is open to all organisations complying with the criteria described in the following sections.
Objectives
- The principal objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to raise citizens’ awareness of the role and democratic values of the European Union by promoting strategic engagement with media. The key performance indicator to measure the achievement of the principal objective of the call for proposals is the number of communication actions co-financed and the hours of attention (estimated exposure) generated by the co-financed actions. Applicants’ attention is drawn to the fact that each action proposal must set out its own individual performance indicators in accordance with Article 3.2 of this call for proposals.
- The expected results of the actions are to provide regular supply of reliable and pluralistic information on the European Union, raising awareness of the European Parliament’s key role as the voice of the European citizens and decision maker, to ensure wide dissemination and geographical balance and promoting a wide public debate on the EU.
- Such actions should primarily target EU citizens who have turned more demanding towards the European Union, specifically since the outbreak of the Covid19-pandemic, as well as citizens who show some interest in EU affairs.
Funding Information
- An indicative amount of € 5.15 million will be available for grants under this call for proposals. The EP reserves the right not to distribute the entirety of the available budget.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are:
- A legal person constituted and registered as a legal entity for at least two years at the time of application;
- Based in one of the Member States of the European Union, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.
