This means that all costs related to the implementation of planned project activities must be covered from the applicant&#8217;s own funds. Therefore, the applicant\/partner must be able to <strong>pre-finance<\/strong> <strong>expenses <\/strong>for a small project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The implementation period for a small project should not exceed 12 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SUBMISSION PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dedicated calls for proposals will be organised for each Small Projects Fund.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The application form and required supporting documents will be submitted online, via an application generator.
