319 address waste-related questions, and

Next steps

In May/June independent expert panels will evaluate proposals submitted for one-stage calls selecting the best ones for funding. The Commission will then inform all applicants – within five months of the call deadline – whether or not their proposal has been successful.

Applicants who answered to a two-stage call will be informed in June of the outcome of the remote review: those invited to submit a full proposal will have to do so by 8 September 2015.
