How much funding is European Commission providing for disability-related projects?

As you have asked this question then, you might know that to support the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (UNCRPD), the European Commission has launched a call for proposals.

The available call budget is EUR 5,800,000. This budget might be increased by a maximum of 20% in case of available funds.

Depending on the number and quality of proposals, the Commission expects to fund 7 to 12 proposals.

The Commission expects:

• to benefit from the networks’ expertise as regards the challenge (and ways to tackle them) that people with disabilities face in the various Member States;
• and to be supported in its outreach activities at EU, national and local level with the aim of ensuring awareness, contribution to and implementation of EU level policies and initiatives as regards the rights of persons with disabilities.

The deadline for submitting the applications is 30-Sep-21.
