Calls for Proposals

BESTbelt aims at unlocking the local potential along the European Green Belt by providing financial resources and consultation on how to effectively implement actions. With the BESTbelt Calls for Proposals, local stakeholders have the opportunity to implement activities to protect, restore and sustainably use natural resources along the European Green Belt.

BESTbelt calls are organised in two steps. First, applicants submit a concept note of their projects. If project drafts are successful, applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal with more details on project plan, partner structure, budget, etc.

The Full Proposal stage of the 3rd BESTbelt Call started!

The 3^rd Call for Proposals received 96 Concept Note applications. After the Board decision, 38 proposals were selected and invited to enter the second stage of the call. Successful applicants were invited (via email) to provide a Full Proposal based on their interesting Concept Notes. In case you have been invited to submit a Full Proposal, you find all relevant documents and forms that you now need at the right side of this webpage. 

The deadline to hand in Full Proposals under the 3^rd BESTbelt Call for Proposals is 24^th June 2024 (23:59:59 CET). Please make sure to send your Full Proposal to bestbelt(at)europeangreenbelt.org in due time.
