Norway has opened an Expression of Interest call under the Joint Committee for Bilateral Funds (JCBF), inviting Croatian organizations to apply for non‑repayable grants that strengthen bilateral cooperation between Croatia and Norway. This opportunity is part of the EEA and Norway Grants framework, which supports EU member states in reducing social and economic disparities while fostering partnerships.
The call focuses on projects that encourage collaboration, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development. Eligible Croatian institutions, NGOs, and organizations are encouraged to submit proposals that align with these objectives, with the aim of building long‑term partnerships and contributing to regional development priorities.
Applicants must submit an Expression of Interest outlining their project ideas, objectives, and potential Norwegian partners. Shortlisted projects may then be invited to provide full proposals. This process ensures transparency and inclusivity while supporting initiatives that deliver meaningful impact.
By offering non‑repayable financial support, the JCBF call provides Croatian organizations with a unique chance to strengthen ties with Norway, expand access to resources, and contribute to sustainable growth. It represents a significant step toward deeper cooperation and shared progress between the two countries.
