Cascade funding, also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), is a mechanism of the European Commission to distribute public funds in order to assist startups, scale-ups, SMEs and/or mid-caps in the uptake or development of innovation.
FSTP is a SME-friendly application scheme which allows that some EU-funded projects may issue, in turn, open calls for further funding. Currently, only the Horizon and Digital programmes may foresee the use of this feature.
All registered cascade funding calls are now available on the Funding & Tenders Portal: Search Funding & Tenders (europa.eu)

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
