For many project sponsors, especially for smaller associations, the necessary pre-financing for projects represents a high hurdle to using the Elbe/Labe Euroregion's small project fund. In addition - despite the partial simplifications - there is the bureaucratic effort involved in submitting applications and accounting. For newcomers to funding, these can be insurmountable obstacles.

We want to remedy this by submitting the application to the Small Projects Fund as a Euroregion instead of the actual project sponsor. In this way, we take on both the bureaucratic work and the pre-financing. The German and Czech project partners then participate in the application as additional project partners.

The two project partners are responsible for implementing the project with the support of the Euroregion. We are also happy to contribute our expertise in qualifying the content of projects.

To use the project service, please contact the Euroregion office in Dresden (see Contact). We will then discuss whether we can support your project idea.

The next step is to concretize your project idea into a concept, which you send to us informally. An internal committee will then decide whether or not the Euroregion will support the project. The Euroregion then submits the application.

If the application is approved, the Euroregion is in the position of the beneficiary and handles all communication with the fund administrator. The project partners are obliged to provide all necessary information and documents. The specific form of payment of the project funding by the Euroregion to the project partners depends on the content of the project and is regulated in an individual contract.

In principle, the project service is open to all possible applicants to the Small Projects Fund. However, as the aim is to support applicants who would otherwise have difficulties using the Small Projects Fund, we are primarily focusing on smaller associations, schools, youth facilities, etc. We are primarily interested in supporting new project sponsors who have little or no experience with cross-border projects. The project service is therefore not intended to provide repeated support to applicants.

Unfortunately, the project service is only available to German applicants, as it is financed from the German side of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion's own budget.
