Deadline: 16-Nov-22
The European Commission (EC) is offering grants for BUILD UP Skills – Strategies and training interventions enabling a decarbonised building stock.
The BUILD UP Skills initiative is supporting the upskilling of building professionals across Europe, to deliver building renovations offering high energy performance as well as new Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEBs).
Objectives
- The first objective (Scope A) is to support the revitalisation of the National Platforms created in the first phase of the BUILD UP Skills initiative (2011-2012, ‘Pillar I’), gathering all key national stakeholders. Since the first platforms were established ten years ago, projects should aim at expanding their scope by involving new stakeholders.
- The second objective (Scope B) is to increase the number of skilled building professionals at all levels of the building design, operation and maintenance value chain.
Scope
- Scope A: Rebooting the BUILD UP Skills National Platforms and Roadmaps – With a view to ensure sufficient traction at national level, Scope A is expected to be addressed through applications covering a single eligible country. One action per country is expected (exceptions possible). Proposals under scope A may be submitted by a single applicant.
- Scope B: Upskilling and reskilling interventions enabling a decarbonised building stock – Proposals should develop new and/or upgrade existing training and qualifications for all types of professionals involved in the building value chain (‘blue collars’ and/or ‘white collars’).
Funding Information
- Scope A: The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to EUR 0.4 million would allow the specific objectives to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
- Scope B: The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to EUR 1 million would allow the specific objectives to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
- The expected project duration is 18 months, to ensure that results are available sufficiently early to support the next phases of BUILD UP Skills.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
- be legal entities (public or private bodies)
- be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs))
- non-EU countries
- the coordinator must be established in an eligible country.
