EU funding eligibility checklist
Use this EU funding eligibility checklist before you treat a call as worth applying for. The goal is a first-pass decision: continue, stop or ask a sharper question.
Your organisation can fit one EU opportunity and fail another.
Applicant type, geography, applicant role, partner structure, topic scope and deadline conditions change from call to call. This checklist helps you collect the right facts before you read the official conditions with more care.
Check the applicant, proposal, partnership and workload before you continue.
Applicant
Check legal entity type, country, size, sector, registration status and role in the application.
Proposal
Match the call scope, expected activities, budget range, timing, evidence and expected outputs.
Partnership
Check whether the call needs partners, countries, research capacity, pilot sites or a consortium lead.
Documents
List the declarations, registration data, accounts, descriptions, references and budget details needed.
Deadline
Count backwards from the submission date and include review time, partner input and team approvals.
Effort
Decide whether the chance, cost and workload make sense for your team right now.
Move to the guide that matches the weakest part of the fit.
Use the portal guide when the official page is hard to interpret. Use the partner search page when the blocker is consortium fit. Use the services page if one unanswered question decides whether to continue.
