Good to know
The more continuous nature of awareness-raising activities contrasts with the temporary nature of events funded under the SP-EVENT program.
Projects have a maximum duration of one year.
The financial contribution covers up to 80% of project costs.
The grant is awarded on the basis of European legislation on de minimis aid. As a beneficiary, you must ensure that the total amount of de minimis aid you have already received does not exceed €300,000 over a three-year period.
