Task description
Project POLICY ANSWERS, co-funded from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101058873, foresees as an eligible activity the provision of financial support to third parties, as a means to achieve its own objectives. POLICY ANSWER monitors and supports policy coordination within the European Union-West Balkan (WB) cooperation, but also provides capacity building and pilot actions in the WB to contribute to the region’s EU integration process and to strengthen their innovation ecosystems. As a pilot programme this Western Balkans Mobility Scheme should build the ground for a follow-up to be funded by regional, national or international stakeholders.
A project within this scheme must fulfil each of these three criteria: It must use (1) short-term mobility within the WB and (2) specialised equipment or facilities (research infrastructures) in another WB economy in order to (3) do research. Only mobility projects in the field of research will be funded.
