Submitting a proposal
The application process for a eurogia+ project proposal has two stages.
1
Submit a Project Outline
The first phase will be to complete and submit a Project Outline. The project coordinator is invited to present it through an oral presentation in front of the Technical Committee.
Second phase, the applicants will be invited to fill in and submit a Full Project Proposal. Following the evaluation, the Technical Committee will give its recommendations to the EUROGIA Board, who in turn will decide to label the project. With this label, project participants can apply for funding in their respective countries.
What is the EUROGIA label?
The EUROGIA label guarantees that projects are technically sound, innovative, well planned and organized and positively impact the world energy system.
The EUROGIA label represents:
Project enrichment due to a dynamic trans-national peer review system
Evaluation by both industry and research institutes improves project quality
Larger market access potential due to international exposure for projects
Projects made more attractive to public funding or venture capitalists
