Beneficiary & submission

The objective of the open call is to expand the regional and topical coverage of the NEBA Alliance. The call accepts applications for three types of cascade grants to achieve this objective (see details in Guide for Applicants): Regional hub grants. These grants will provide funding to consortia to form a hub in a region with low or no coverage from the present NEBA Alliance consortia. (The funding of up to 15,000.00 EUR can be received.) Partnering with existing NEBA hubs grants. These grants will fund institutions in regions already covered by an existing NEBA Alliance hub to provide training in topics otherwise left uncovered. (The funding of up to 10,000.00 EUR can be received.) Training course and material grants. These smaller grants will fund the development of courses and materials to grow the portfolio of trainings provide by the NEBA Alliance. (The funding of up to 2,000.00 EUR can be received.) The open call will allow the NEBA Alliance to test and implement its onboarding procedures for new hubs, its quality control process for new content, and most importantly, to provide training on more topics to more people. We anticipate two to three new regional hubs, two to three new partners of existing NEBA hubs, and up to 10 new courses with materials.
