All sub-programmes have two calls for proposals per year. The first call is open during the spring and the second is open during the autumn.

Timetable
- January: Our calls for proposals are opening
 - March: Our calls for proposals are closing

Selection process
When calls for proposals close, an assessment process begins where we engage external independent evaluators. The responsible authority takes a formal decision that they communicated to the project.

Steps in above selection process
- The call for proposals closes
 - Formalities review by concerned programme manager
 - Applications open for external independent evaluator
 - Assessments are submitted by the evaluators
 - Assessment meeting and protocol between programme manager and external evaluator
 - Preparation and formality review by programme manager and administrator
 - Authority decisions and communication to the projects
