The 5th call is opening soon!

We support great ideas that make the Northern Periphery and Arctic an even better place to live, work and visit! 

To do that we fund innovative and creative projects that build on the unique features of peripherality of the NPA regions and bring their communities together to become more sustainable and resilient.

To apply for funding, you should have an idea how to improve the quality of life of people in remote and sparsely populated areas, their well-being and the environment they live in now, and in the future. You should also involve public institutions, private companies and civil society organisations from other NPA regions, to work together.

When your partnership is in place and you checked that your idea is well developed and fits the programme priorities, you are ready to submit an application to our 5th call for projects! 

Call details

The 5^th Call for projects opens on 11^th June 2024 and will close on 30^th September at 12:00 CET (noon). Applications can be submitted in all three priorities, but applicants are encouraged to visit the 5^th Call page to gain a better overview of the call details.

It is expected that the 5th Call will be the last broad main call for the time being, in view of the funding situation.
