Partnerships for cooperation: 2023 Call

This action enables participating organisations to gain experience in international cooperation and to strengthen their capacities, but also to produce high-quality innovative deliverables.

Depending on the objectives of the project, the participating organisations involved, or the expected impact, among other elements, Partnerships for Cooperation can be of different sizes and scope, and adapt their activities accordingly. The qualitative assessment of these projects will be proportional to the objectives of the cooperation and the nature of the organisations involved.

Based on this logic, two types of partnerships are offered to organisations to work, learn and grow together:

• Cooperation Partnerships
• Small-scale Partnerships

These two types of partnerships are presented in detail in the next section. The information included in the two sections will help you to choose the type of partnership that suits best the profile and structure of your organisation and your project ideas.

Objectives of the action

Cooperation Partnerships aim at:

• Increasing quality in the work, activities and practices of organisations and institutions involved, opening up to new actors, not naturally included within one sector;
• Building capacity of organisations to work transnationally and across sectors;
• Addressing common needs and priorities in the fields of education, training, youth and sport;
• Enabling transformation and change (at individual, organisational or sectoral level), leading to improvements and new approaches, in proportion to the context of each organisation.

For Partnerships in the fields of education, training and youth submitted by any organisation in these fields, with the exception of European NGOs:

• Applicants have to submit their grant application by 23 March at 12:00:00

Possible additional deadline

National Agencies in the field of education and training may organise a second round of applications, for which the rules set out in this Guide will also apply. National Agencies will inform of this possibility via their website.

If a second round is organised applicants have to submit their grant application by 4 October at 12:00:00 (midday Brussels time) for projects starting between 1 January and 31 August of the following year.
