The CEI Know-how Exchange Programme (KEP) aims at facilitating know-how and best practice transfer between institutions in EU Member States (and Croatia) and eligible non-EU Member States of the CEI. By co-financing capacity building and technical assistance projects between these two country groups, the KEP also helps non-EU Member States to advance on their path towards EU standards and policies.
The KEP AUSTRIA Call for Proposals 2013 is now open to co-finance projects under the KEP supported by the Austrian government with funding from the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC). KEP AUSTRIA focuses on the following areas of intervention: European Integration, Capacity Building and Market Economy; Infrastructure Planning and Development; Agriculture, Energy and Environment. The overall indicative amount made available under this Call is 100.000 EUR. Up to 50% of the total project cost and not more than 40.000 EUR per project will be covered. The Project implementation is envisaged to start after 1 March 2013 and should not exceed 12 months. *** KEP AUSTRIA represents a specific component of the CEI Know-how Exchange Programme which has been supported by the Austrian government since 2008 with funding from the Austrian Development Cooperation.
