Call for 2016 project proposals (Deadline 25 December 2015)
Having regard to the regular procedure for deciding on 2015 projects, you are welcome to send project ideas and project proposals of your interest by 5th January 2015 (deadline). The projects received will be discussed and approved by the CMC Bureau in their next meeting (15th January 2016)
Should you be interested to submit a project proposal please do so by filling in this Project submission form.
Note that eligibility criteria for Centre Maurits Coppieters funding are set in the Bureau 8th December 2010 decision and reviewed at the 25th January 2013 Bureau decision. When submitting a proposal please note that it has to comply with as many as possible of the following criteria:
• Projects should have a political impact rather than a cultural outlook
• Projects should have an European scope
• Projects should ensure a good quality outcome
• Projects should be easily communicable
• Projects should have some co-financing by any local counterpart / member
• Projects should not go against EFA objectives (namely, respect for democratic values, diversity, peace)
• Projects shouldn’t be granted to same researchers in consecutive years.
• Priority will be given to those projects already approved in previous years.
• Projects’ budget shouldn’t allocate provisions to human resources or coordination.
CMC has 3 main pillars of action, (1) political and socio-economic studies, (2) historical studies and philosophy and (3) direct interactions with EU institutions.
• 72,70 % of the 2013 budget for projects has been allocated to political and socio-economic studies,
• 27,29 % of the 2013 budget for projects has been allocated to historical studies and philosophy
• 0,00 % of the 2013 budget for projects has been allocated to direct interactions with EU institutions (note that this part is financed through other budgetary lines)

You are welcome to think of other projects that do not necessarily have to crystallise in any of the above mentioned outcomes: series of interviews, media work, archiving services, other sort of services or websites are atypical but also eligible for funding.
Finally, note that that CMC is 85% funded by the European Parliament. Therefore implementation of those projects have to follow strict rules to ensure correct implementation of the European Union financial regulations and rules of application, the grant agreement signed with the European Parliament and CMC’s own internal control rules and procedures.
