As we enter the new year, we are excited to launch of the first round of 25 selected Cascade Funding projects in 2025.
We had also looked forward to welcoming applications for the second round of Cascade Funding applications, however, we regret to announce that the opening of the call for the second round of Cascade Funding projects has now been postponed until mid-February 2025 due to unforeseen platform maintenance issues. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience the delay may cause.
In preparation for the Second Call of Cascade Funding to open mid-February 2025, kindly note that the Second Call will be open for a minimum of 60-days and will include three types of projects, in line with the First Call: Teaming projects, Institutional Pilot projects, and Institutional Change projects.
- Teaming projects facilitate the transfer and adaptation of experience and practices from a more advanced/experienced organisation to one or more less experienced ones.
- Institutional pilot projects offer an opportunity for institutions to experiment with and evaluate new assessment approaches, procedures, frameworks, and tools in the context of a clearly defined initiative.
- Institutional change projects provide the means to accelerate change in procedures and process in an organisation.
Despite these technical difficulties, we invite all interested parties to join us for an online Information Session on Cascade Funding on January 30th, 2025 at 14h CET. The online information session will provide important insights on the Cascade Funding process, as well as an opportunity for any prospective Teaming project partners to meet online. If you have any questions about Cascade Funding and would like to clarify any points that remain unclear, please join us for the online information session on January 30th, 2024.
