Extension of the deadline for submitting applications for funding for small projects under the 2nd Call for Proposals Priority 2 Tourism

In recent days, an extraordinary hydrological situation has occurred on the Polish-Czech border. Heavy rainfall has led to widespread flooding, and a state of natural disaster has been declared in some regions. In connection with the above, the Association of Polish Communes of the Glacensis Euroregion as the Manager of the Small Projects Fund in the Glacensis Euroregion Priority 2 Objective. 2.1 Better cross-border use of the potential of sustainable tourism for the economic development of the Czech-Polish border has decided to change the deadline for submitting applications for co-financing small projects under the 2nd Call - the new deadline is 15.11.2024.

The allocation amounts assigned to individual activities according to the division below and the planned date of the meeting of the Euroregional Steering Committee are also subject to change. I would like to remind you that applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, and are submitted within the framework of individual distributions (individual calls) of the announced continuous call. On the website www.euroregion-glacensis.ng.pl, the dates of individual calls and the final deadlines for project applications to be submitted to the FMP Manager within a given single call will be regularly posted, as well as the dates of the ESC meetings at which small projects submitted within a given call will be discussed.
