3. How to Apply

The selection and approval of projects is based on an open and competitive process based on the merits of each project.

Partnerships will be able to submit project applications during open calls for projects scheduled indicatively twice a year at regular intervals in the spring and in the autumn. Exact dates are published on the dedicated page of the programme website. Project applications must be submitted via the electronic monitoring system Jems (Joint Electronic Monitoring System). A Jems guidance and a Helpdesk (jems@interreg-npa.eu) are available to support applicants in the use of Jems

Prior to the formal project application submission, the Joint Secretariat will conduct a pre-submission check to assist project idea holders to meet the completeness criteria for applications.

Following the submission of an application via the electronic monitoring system Jems by the relevant deadline, the application is automatically registered, and the Lead Partner will be sent an electronic notification of the application’s receipt by the Programme[1].

After registration, each submitted project application will be subject to a 4-step selection procedure.

[1] Until an automatic feature is available, the notification is sent by the Joint Secretariat.
