Fourth Call for Proposals European Urban Initiative - Innovative Actions
Scope and expected outcomes
For the fourth EUI – Innovative Actions (EUI-IA) Call for Proposals, an indicative budget of EUR 60 million ERDF (subject to budget availability) is allocated.
Each project can receive up to a maximum of EUR 2 million ERDF co-financing and project implementation should take place within a maximum period of 2 years.
This upcoming call will introduce an updated framework of support for cities, building on and adapting the principles of our previous Innovative Action framework. This approach reflects our ongoing commitment to helping cities test locally innovative solutions and strengthen their capacity to address complex urban challenges.
The Call will fund projects that are ready to implement, building on existing initiatives or strategies where relevant, and can deliver measurable results within the project timeframe.
