Third Call for Project Proposals

From Tuesday, March 25, 2025, to Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 12:00 noon, it will be possible to submit project proposals under the EU Interreg Italy-Austria VI-A 2021–2027 program.

The total budget for this third call for project proposals amounts to €16.5 million. Project applications must demonstrate a concrete and sustainable cross-border approach and fall within one of the four program priorities with a specific objective. Businesses, cooperatives, public or private entities, local authorities, associations, or research institutes, etc., are invited to submit cross-border project proposals in the following areas: Innovation and Business (Priority 1), Climate Change and Biodiversity (Priority 2), Sustainable and Cultural Tourism (Priority 3), Reduction of Cross-Border Barriers (Priority 5).

Please note that for Priority 3 “Sustainable and Cultural Tourism”, only limited funding is available. Therefore, only one strategic project involving all program regions can be approved.

This third call includes all remaining funds, which will be allocated in this phase of the program, totaling €16.5 million in ERDF funds.
