CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR SOCIAL EXPERIMENTATION - Posted: Jun 11, 2010

The European Commission has launched a new funding round to support
transnational projects that contribute to the development and testing of
innovative approaches to social protection and social inclusion, in
particular projects with a focus on the social inclusion of young
people. The Funding is being made available through the EU Progress
Programme. PROGRESS is the EU's main employment and social solidarity
programme, set up to provide financial support for the attainment of the
European Union's objectives in employment, social affairs and equal
opportunities as set out in the Social Agenda. To be eligible for
funding, transnational projects will have to include partnerships
between stakeholders that are involved in the process of social
experimentation (public bodies, local authorities, NGOs, service
providers, etc). The total amount of funding available to support this
call for proposals is ?2.5 million. It is envisaged that around 10
projects will be selected. Funded activities should start between
01/01/2011 and 31/03/2011, for a maximum duration of 24 months and
minimum duration of 12 months. The closing date for applications is the
31st August 2010.
