Επιλέξιμοι Οργανισμοί
Ο ελάχιστος αριθμός συμμετεχόντων οργανισμών στην κοινοπραξία είναι 3, από τρία διαφορετικά Κράτη-Μέλη ή Τρίτες Χώρες, συνδεδεμένες με το Πρόγραμμα
Ανά OID και προθεσμία, το ανώτατο όριο αιτήσεων για τις αιτήσεις που υποβάλλονται αθροιστικά στους τομείς SCH, VET, ADU και YOU είναι 10, είτε ο οργανισμός θα λειτουργήσει ως αιτητής είτε ως εταίρος. Εξαιρείται ο τομέας της Τριτοβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης (HED).
Είναι δυνατή η συμμετοχή συνδεδεμένων εταίρων (associated partners), οι οποίοι αναλαμβάνουν να διεκπεραιώσουν συγκεκριμένες εργασίες αλλά δε λαμβάνουν καμία επιχορήγηση από το Πρόγραμμα.
Επιλέξιμες Δραστηριότητες
Κάθε Σχέδιο αποτελείται από Πακέτα/Δέσμες Εργασιών
Κάθε Δέσμη Εργασίας περιλαμβάνει συγκεκριμένες Δραστηριότητες, οι οποίες συμβάλλουν στην επίτευξη κοινών στόχων και αποτελεσμάτων. Οι οργανισμοί έχουν την ευελιξία να επιλέξουν τον βέλτιστο συνδυασμό δραστηριοτήτων ανάλογα με το εύρος και τις ικανότητες της σύμπραξης. Τα τρία είδη δραστηριοτήτων, που λαμβάνουν χώρα στο πλαίσιο μίας Σύμπραξης Συνεργασίας, είναι τα ακόλουθα:
* Όλες οι δραστηριότητες πρέπει να πραγματοποιούνται σε μία από τις χώρες των συμμετεχόντων οργανισμών στην κοινοπραξία, σε πόλη όπου εδρεύει κάποιο θεσμικό όργανο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης ή στα πλαίσια διακρατικών εκδηλώσεων, σχετικών με τη θεματική του Σχεδίου (μόνο για δραστηριότητες διάδοσης).

- In addition to the organisations formally participating in the project, Cooperation Partnerships may also involve other partners from the public or private sector (associated partners) that contribute to the implementation of specific project tasks/activities, but they are not eligible to receive any funding from the Programme as part of the project.
Eligible Activities
- Each Project is structured into Work Packages, with each Work Package comprising specific Activities that contribute to achieving common goals and results. The participating organisations have the flexibility to choose the most effective combination of activities based on the scope and capacities of the partnership. The three key types of activities within a Cooperation Partnership are as follows:
- Essential for ensuring the implementation and monitoring of the project.
- Involve the production and development of the project’s key deliverables.
- Focus on the promotion and outreach of the project’s results.
- in the countries of the participating organisations, either as full partners or as associated partners.
- at the seat of an Institution of the European Union, if duly justified in relation to the objectives or implementation of the project.
- in EU Member States or third countries associated to the Programme or eligible third countries not associated to the Programme, in the framework of relevant thematic transnational events/conferences (only in relation to activities that involve sharing and promotion of results, if duly justified).
