The NCP Flanders Digital Europe page provides a first overview of the programme. In brief it explains what Digital Europe is and which thematic areas fall under the programme.

The Digital Europe Online manual provides all practical details on the submission process of proposals on the Funding and Tender portal, how to apply for funding, what will happen after the call deadline and offers guidance for the post-grant signature/project management phase.

The application to a Digital Europe call implies four major steps.

The Funding and Tender portal hosts call topics of all EU funding programmes. By choosing Digital Europe you will be directed to all calls within this specific programme.

• Your own network: Your strongest cooperation links will probably come from those organisations that you already interact with. Because there is already a trust relation established. Because there is a reason for this link. For defining this network around you, dare to think broad.
• DEP4ALL -  the network of Digital Europe NCPs: the DEP4ALL project brings together Digital Europe NCPs from all participating countries and facilitates, among other services, the partner search across borders. Contact your local NCP to learn more about the support the project can offer. 
• Enterprise Europe Network: a network of more than 600 partner organisations in the EU that can get you into contact with potential partners from other countries. Besides, you can get reliable information on European legislation and regulations in other member states. Moreover, the network also has antennas outside Europe.
  Teams of network experts in each member organisation offer personalised services to businesses. The Network can also offer a targeted approach aimed specifically at your business sector. Its expert groups cover all key economic sectors, from healthcare to agrofood, from intelligent energy to fashion and textile.

Each user of the Funding and Tender portal has to have an EU Login account to log in on the Portal.

If you want to participate in a project proposal, your organisation needs to be registered and have a 9-digit Participant Identification Code (PIC). The 2-steps verification  process for securing your registration in the Funding and Tender portal, installed in 2020, is explained by the Commission through webinars and tutorials.

NCP Flanders can give you support during your application process and provides basic information and tips and tricks to support you with preparing your proposal.
