On 15 June, the 4th call for proposals under the INTERREG MAC Programme will open for the submission of projects with combined funding from the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) and the IVCDCI (Instrument for Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation).

In order to achieve the programme’s objectives, each project will have an ERDF component and an IVCDCI component with separate grant agreements, but which are interconnected and share the same Lead Beneficiary.

The actions will be subject to the provisions of European regulations relating to the Structural Funds for the ERDF component and to the provisions of European regulations relating to the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument, as well as to the provisions of the Contribution Agreement and its annexes for the IVCDCI component.

The ERDF funding allocated to the call amounts to €10.000.000 and the IVCDCI funding to €9.300.000.

Each application must demonstrate its contribution to climate resilience and job creation and fall within the Specific Objectives of Priorities 1 (Smart MAC) and 2 (Green MAC) of the MAC Programme.

The terms and conditions of the call for proposals and the eligibility and selection criteria for projects are now published in the Calls/4th Call section of the programme’s website.

An Information Session on this call will be held on 17 June (11:00 Lisboa), with interpretation into the programme’s four languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French and English).
