Tips for Applicants
- ✓Line up all consortium partners early, the 3-country, 3-entity minimum can take longer to assemble than the science plan itself.
- ✓Treat the outline stage as a real filter, not a formality; it is due five months before the full application.
- ✓Check national eligibility rules for each partner country separately, since CETP funding is disbursed through national funders like the Research Council of Norway rather than a single central budget.
