The Second Open Call closed on 30 April 2025, with 434 applications received from SMEs across 25 EU countries. Of these, 144 applied for small-scale projects and 290 for large-scale projects, depending on the maturity of their transition projects.
The projects are currently undergoing eligibility checks and will subsequently be assessed by external evaluators. Due to budget constraints, external evaluations will be limited to 100 small-scale and 180 large-scale eligible applications based on submission time (first-come, first-served).
In total, we will support up to 40 projects in this call with a budget of €1,020,000.
The results will be announced on 13 June 2025.
