European year of workers mobility 2006

NICVA Small Logo

The European Commission has issued a call for proposals for pilot projects relating to the European Year of Workers’ Mobility 2006. This funding for projects will focus on increasing the circulation of workers in Europe.

The purpose of the present call for proposals is the co-funding of a limited number of pilot projects in order to:

  • develop and test innovative instruments which facilitate the geographic and labour market mobility of workers and their families and remove existing obstacles to mobility;
  • transfer between sectors, regions and countries or mainstream existing
    successful instruments and practices in the area of mobility.
All projects need to evidence a clear European added value and should be able to be reproduced in other contexts. They should involve relevant stakeholders and should have the potential to lead to new policy initiatives.

Proposals must be developed and implemented by a partnership, preferably at transnational level, and must involve at least two relevant stakeholders potentially interested in the objectives of the call (i.e. public authorities and social partner organisations, non governmental organisations, public-private partnerships, academia, municipalities, etc).

The budget available for the present call is €2 million. The Commission will co finance projects up to a maximum of 85% of the total eligible costs. Depending on the quality of the applications the Commission expects to fund between 5 and 8 projects (average grant €300.000).

The deadline for the submission of applications is 17/07/2006.
