OP EIC - changes in the second call
An up-to-date timetable of calls for applications under the Enterprise and Innovations for Competitiveness Operational Programme (OP EIC) was disclosed on 21 September 2016. Below we summarise some of the changes made to the original timetable.
The minimum allocation of funds per call has increased for the Energy Saving, Innovations and Applications programmes whereas the ICT and Shares Services programme shows a decrease in funds for distribution. The types of calls in which programmes are announced have also been amended: single-round calls for which the moment at which applications are submitted is not decisive but the evaluation of a project’s scoring potential is most crucial, as disclosed in the original timetable, were changed to continuous calls with the moment of application submission the decisive factor. This mainly concerns the Energy Saving and Innovations programmes. According to available information, the governing body will be allowed to close both types of calls should the funds for allocation be exhausted only after five days or should the number of accepted applications exceed double the funds for allocation within a respective programme.
Changes in the OP EIC timetable are marked in orange in the table below.
