APEL PENTRU PROPUNERI - Subvenții pentru educație pentru evenimente și inițiative educaționale inovatoare în cadrul EU Code Week 2025

The Universitatea Nationala de Stiinta si Tehnologie Politica Bucuresti (UPB) is launching a call for proposals titled "APEL PENTRU PROPUNERI - Subvenții pentru educație pentru evenimente și inițiative educaționale inovatoare în cadrul EU Code Week 2025," aimed at supporting educational projects aligned with EU Code Week. This initiative is not classified as an EU action, although it appears on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal for visibility. The primary aim is to assist small local initiatives such as NGOs, coding clubs, and scientific associations in Romania.

The total funding available for this opportunity is €5,000, which will be awarded to selected projects. The call opens on November 30, 2025, with a deadline for applications set for January 31, 2026, at 18:00 Brussels time. The project duration extends until May 31, 2026.

Eligible applicants include small local organizations that focus on promoting coding and digital skills among young people, particularly targeting girls and underrepresented groups. Applicant organizations can submit standalone proposals, as there is no consortium requirement.

The funding provided will be based on real costs documented by the applicants, implying that selected projects must articulate their implementation plans, project objectives, and budget proposals comprehensively, alongside supporting documents. The application process is conducted through an online Google Form, ensuring accessibility to all eligible entities.

Successful applicants are expected to execute local, community-oriented educational events focused on coding, STEM education, and digital skills development. Although the call does not explicitly state a co-funding requirement, no information suggests that applicants need to secure external funding or provide matching funds to participate.

While success rates are not specified, the limited budget and the competitive nature of similar opportunities suggest lower probability for funding, possibly under 10%. This opportunity serves as a means to catalyze local educational initiatives that can be replicated and scaled in other regions as part of the broader digital skills agenda under the EU's Digital Europe Programme.

The call emphasizes grassroots engagement, encouraging innovation in educational approaches while fostering a network of initiatives aimed at enhancing digital literacy within communities. Applications must encapsulate project descriptions, organization details, implementation strategies, financial documentation, and any pertinent online resource links.

In summary, this call supports grassroots educational initiatives within Romania to promote coding and digital skills among youth, allowing applicants until January 31, 2026, to submit their proposals for funding consideration.
