Support will be provided through the conclusion of framework partnership agreements (FPA) for a duration of maximum five years – covering the operating years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 – and, subsequently, of specific grant agreements for the financial year 2017. The FPA will include a multi-annual work programme for the period 2017-2021 as an annex, including a budget plan. Applicants who receive a FPA are eligible for the specific grant agreement. They will be invited to submit a simplified grant application. This will include an annual work programme and budget. Signing an FPA does not guarantee annual co-funding.

Grants for such actions are calculated on the basis of eligible costs incurred. The maximum rate of EU co-financing is 60 %. This may be up to 80 % if a proposal meets the criteria for exceptional utility set out in Annex VII. Annex V contains the eligibility, exclusion, selection and award criteria for these actions.
