CERV-REM European Remembrance: the application, step by step

What it is

European Remembrance is a call of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme (CERV) for projects on one of five remembrance topics. They range from democratic transitions and the remembrance of the Holocaust against Jewish people, of Roma victims and of LGBTIQ+ and other victims, to the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration. Projects can be national or transnational, and the grant is a prefixed lump sum per event.

Who can apply

Lead applicant: a non-profit legal entity (public or private body) or an international organisation. Co-applicants: non-profit or for-profit legal entities (public or private bodies); for-profit organisations may apply only in partnership with public entities, private non-profit organisations or international organisations. All must be established in an EU Member State (including overseas countries and territories) or a country associated to the CERV Programme.

Partnership

At least 2 applicants: the lead applicant and at least one co-applicant, not being an affiliated entity or associated partner. Projects can be national or transnational, and activities must take place in the eligible countries.

Duration

Normally 12 to 24 months.

Grant

€50,000 to €500,000. The grant is a prefixed lump sum: one lump sum per work package, and one work package per event, set by the number of direct participants and of eligible countries of each event, in person or online.

Deadlines

Deadlines are set in each call. Check the current deadline on the call's topic page on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.

How many applications

The lead applicant cannot submit more than one application under this call for proposals, across all priorities/topics.

How it is scored

To be considered for funding a proposal must score at least 70 points out of 100 overall, and reach the individual threshold of 25 on Relevance. The other criteria have no individual threshold.

Proposals that pass the individual threshold for the criterion ‘Relevance’ AND the overall threshold will be considered for funding — within the limits of the available budget (i.e. up to the budget ceiling). Other proposals will be rejected.

Proposals with equal scores are prioritised by their score for ‘Relevance’, then ‘Quality’, then ‘Impact’.
