* How can I apply? The European Parliament publishes a call for grants every two years. Non-profit organisations can apply and submit a proposal on how they would organise the local EYE in their city. The result of the call is the organisation over a weekend of two local EYEs by two different organisations in two different EU Member States. Cross-border projects are encouraged.

* Budget and award criteria? The available budget for this call is EUR 220 000 for both projects. The maximum budget per project is expected to be EUR 110 000, but this does not preclude the submission/selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Proposals will be first checked for formal requirements (admissibility and eligibility). Proposals found admissible and eligible will be evaluated by an evaluation committee for operational capacity and award criteria and then ranked according to their quality score.
* Am I eligible? The actions supported under this call are mono-beneficiary actions.
