CLIB Financing Friday – great interest in CBE JU Call 2024

We continued our Financing Friday Webinar format with great success: almost 100 participants joined us to learn more about the upcoming funding opportunities in the CBE JU Call 2024. An overview of the CBE JU and the funding modalities by Oliver Zobell, Call coordinator and project officer at CBE provided the necessary background to the Call 2024. CLIB then briefly presented the most relevant topics in the 2024 call and opened an online whiteboard for networking.

Contact us, if you are interested in coordinating a proposal, or want to know more about a specific topic!

The Call 2024 is expected to open on 24 April, with a submission deadline of 18 September 2024. The total budget is 213 M EUR.
