What this programme is

EU External Action, delivered through the Commission's international partnerships services, funds development and cooperation work outside the Union. A European organisation can apply, but the action itself happens in a partner country, and calls are published per country or region rather than per research topic.

The next cut-off is 21 Oct 2026.

When it closes

4 months carry a cut-off. Each links to every call closing that month, across all programmes.

October 20265 cut-offs November 20266 cut-offs December 20261 cut-off January 20271 cut-off

About EU External Action (EuropeAid)

Who can apply to EU External Action (EuropeAid) calls?

It is set per call, not per programme. 0% of these calls accept a single applicant; 0 require a consortium, and 13 do not say. Where the conditions state the requirement we quote the sentence they state it in; where they do not, we infer it from the type of action and mark it as inferred, and an inferred value never appears without that mark.

What does the budget figure mean?

It is the sum of what the funder published per call, in the funder's own currency, converted once at the European Central Bank rates this build holds. Calls that publish no budget contribute nothing rather than an estimate, so the total is a floor, not a guess.

How often does this page change?

The corpus is re-synced nightly and the site is rebuilt with it. Cut-offs and countdowns are recomputed at build time, so a call that closed since the last sync leaves this page rather than sitting here with a stale date.

Can I see only the calls I could win?

Yes, the fit check reads every call on this page against your organisation on the gates that decide admissibility, and it runs in your browser with no account. Calls that block you are shown with the condition that blocks them, because sometimes it is one you can change.
