Overview and expected outcome

This is an open, single-stage call for proposals under the Justice Programme (2021-2027). The call aims to facilitate effective and non-discriminatory access to justice for all and to ensure effective redress, including by electronic means (e-Justice). It supports projects that promote efficient civil and criminal procedures, that promote and support victims’ rights and that support procedural rights of suspects and accused persons in criminal proceedings. The call covers two priorities: (1) e-Justice and (2) Victims’ rights and procedural rights. The programme uses lump sum grant funding and is managed by the European Commission DG Justice and Consumers. Opening date: 25 June 2026. Submission deadline: 15 October 2026, 17:00 Brussels time. Indicative total call budget: €9,400,000 for 2027 split across the two priorities; the work programme allocates €9.4M to each priority over 2027 in the budget mapping. Projects normally range 12 to 24 months. Applicants must submit proposals electronically via the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System. For the call document, application templates and model grant agreement see the Topic page and call documentation ¹.

Call identifier and administration:Call: JUST-2027-JACC-EJUSTICE. Topic for this description: JUST-2027. Type of action: JUST Lump Sum Grants (JUST-AG-LS). Submission procedure: single-stage electronic submission via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. Planned opening: 25 June 2026. Deadline: 15 October 2026, 17:00 (Brussels). Evaluation: October 2026–January 2027. Information to applicants: March 2027. Grant signature: April–May 2027.

Full eligibility and administrative conditions

Eligible applicants must be legal entities (public or private bodies) established in eligible countries. Natural persons are not eligible except self-employed sole traders. International organisations may participate. Entities without legal personality may exceptionally participate if their representatives can assume legal obligations. EU bodies (except the Commission JRC) cannot be beneficiaries. Participants must register in the Participant Register (obtain a PIC) before submission and be validated by the Central Validation Service (REA Validation). Entities subject to EU restrictive measures or an EU exclusion decision are not eligible in any capacity.

Eligible countries and geographic scope

Eligible countries:EU Member States (all except Denmark) and non-EU countries that are associated to the Justice Programme or in negotiations for association if association enters into force before grant signature. The list of participating third countries is updated regularly and currently includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine among those participating or with confirmed interest. Proposals must relate to activities taking place in eligible countries. National projects are eligible only where they demonstrate clear EU added value; transnational projects have priority.

Priorities, scope and eligible activities

The call covers two priorities. Each proposal must address only one topic/priority and may be submitted to only one topic.

1. 1Priority 1 e-Justice: Support implementation of Regulation (EU) 2023/2844 on digitalisation of cross-border judicial cooperation. Primary focus on preparatory and implementation activities for national access points to the decentralised IT system, videoconferencing in cross-border proceedings, electronic payment of court fees, digital identification for remote hearings, and facilitating access and inclusion in videoconferencing (for vulnerable or digitally excluded participants). Secondary actions include joining/enhancing existing e-Justice projects, ECLI implementation, participation in the European Case Law Database, development of national portals and AI solutions, repositories for open-source judicial software, and participation in Find a Lawyer/Find a Notary tools. Indicative budget for e-Justice: €3,400,000.
2. 2Priority 2 Victims’ rights and procedural rights: Projects that improve effective, coherent application of EU law on victims’ rights (including the revised Victims’ Rights Directive and related instruments) and projects that improve implementation and application of procedural rights Directives (2010/64, 2012/13, 2013/48, 2016/343, 2016/800, 2016/1919). Priority given to projects that address implementation shortfalls, practical and transferable solutions, multi-agency cooperation, victim-sensitive and trauma-informed approaches, support for victims of digital crimes, restorative justice tools, training and capacity building for practitioners, information/awareness tools (including helpline 116 006), and actions addressing procedural safeguards in digitalised proceedings and AI use. Indicative budget for victims’ and procedural rights: €6,000,000.

All project activities should integrate gender mainstreaming and non-discrimination, include a gender analysis proportional to project scale, and where relevant include a child protection policy (CPP) if activities involve children. Projects must build on previous EU-funded work where relevant and demonstrate EU added value and transferability.

Funding mechanism, amounts and financial rules

Form of grant:Lump sum grants under the Justice Programme (JUST Lump Sum Grants). Funding rate: 90% of the estimated eligible costs (the funding rate stated in the call). The lump sum amount is fixed for each grant in the Grant Agreement. The detailed budget table submitted with the proposal (or the pre-fixed amounts in the call) is used to calculate the lump sum. The lump sum must be an approximation of actual eligible costs and must follow eligibility rules applicable to actual-cost grants. Financial support to third parties is not allowed unless explicitly authorised. Communication costs for presenting the project on participants’ websites/social media are eligible; costs for separate project websites are not eligible. Volunteers’ unit costs are allowed without indirect costs. The lump sum methodology is authorised for Justice Programme actions (Decision on use of lump sums).

Project budgets and thresholds:Minimum requested grant per project: €100,000. Maximum requested grant per project: €800,000. Projects with the maximum may nevertheless receive lower awards following evaluation and budget availability.

Consortium composition and roles

Consortium requirement:For both priorities proposals must be submitted by a consortium of at least two independent beneficiaries from two different eligible countries. The consortium must include at least one public body, private non-profit organisation or international organisation as beneficiary (not as an affiliated entity). Consortiums consisting of participants from one eligible country can be exceptionally accepted only with demonstrable EU added value, but transnational projects are prioritised. Participants can also register affiliated entities, associated partners, subcontractors and third parties providing in-kind contributions. Associated partners participate without EU funding. Affiliated entities participate with rights and obligations similar to beneficiaries but do not sign the grant.

1. 1Minimum consortium: 2 independent legal entities from 2 different eligible countries.
2. 2At least one beneficiary must be a public body, a private non-profit or an international organisation.
3. 3Affiliated entities are possible but do not count towards minimum consortium rules.
4. 4Subcontracting is permitted and should be limited; subcontracting above 30% of total eligible costs must be justified.

Project stage, duration and target maturity

Project maturity:The call funds activities from analytical and conceptual work to IT software development, piloting, capacity building, implementation support and demonstration of solutions that are transferable and scalable across jurisdictions. Projects can include research and analytical activities but preference is given to practical, implementable projects with direct benefits to target groups. Typical project stage: development, validation and demonstration; projects with strong operational implementation elements are favoured. Duration: normally 12 to 24 months; extensions possible via amendment where justified.

Evaluation and award criteria

One-stage submission and one-step evaluation. Admissibility and eligibility checks applied first. Evaluators assess operational capacity and award criteria. Projects that pass thresholds and rank within available budget will be invited to grant preparation. Evaluation criteria and weighting (maximum 100 points): Relevance 40 points (individual minimum threshold 25), Quality 40 points, Impact 20 points. Overall pass threshold: 70/100. Priority ordering for tie-breaks: score in Relevance, then Quality, then Impact. Invitation to grant preparation does not constitute formal commitment to fund until legal checks and grant preparation are complete.

Application and submission

Submission is electronic only through the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System. Application consists of Part A (administrative forms filled online), Part B (technical description — template downloaded and uploaded as PDF), KPI tool and annexes required by the call. Proposals limited to 45 pages for Part B. Required annexes include detailed budget table (Excel or as online part depending on call), standard CVs for key personnel, activity report of last year for coordinator (mandatory except for public bodies), list of previous projects (last 4 years), and child protection policy or declaration where activities involve children. Applicants must confirm mandate to act for all applicants and declare compliance with call conditions before submission.

1. 1All applicants must register in the Participant Register and obtain a PIC before submission.
2. 2Use the Part B template available in the Submission System. Do not exceed page and formatting limits.
3. 3Upload annexes to the correct categories in the Submission System or proposal may be considered incomplete.
4. 4Submission confirmation email is sent automatically; lack of confirmation means the proposal was not submitted.

Project management, reporting and payments

Form of grant:lump sum. Funding rate: 90% applied to the estimated eligible costs to calculate the lump sum. Payments: pre-financing (normally 80% of the maximum grant amount, though this can vary), no interim payments in many Justice Programme grants, possible progress report for projects of 24 months or more after 12 months, payment of balance after final report and acceptance of deliverables. Reporting: periodic technical reports are required and the coordinator must indicate the status of work packages (completed/not completed). Payments for lump sum work packages are made when the related work packages have been accepted by the Commission in the periodic evaluation. Where applicable ex-post technical reviews may be performed to verify implementation of completed work packages. Prefinancing guarantees may be requested depending on financial capacity checks. Joint and several liability provisions apply as set out in the Grant Agreement.

Capacity, exclusions and compliance

Applicants must demonstrate operational and financial capacity. Financial capacity checks apply depending on type of applicant and requested grant amount (exemptions for public bodies, international organisations, or grants below €60,000). Operational capacity is assessed under the Quality award criterion. Exclusion grounds per EU Financial Regulation apply (bankruptcy, grave professional misconduct, fraud, corruption, terrorist financing links, irregularities, etc.). Projects must comply with EU values and fundamental rights and respect GDPR. Child protection policies are mandatory for participants working with children. Gender mainstreaming and intersectional non-discrimination are required and should be reflected in needs analysis, indicators and monitoring.

Co-funding, double funding and budget rules

Co-funding:The grant reimburses a percentage (funding rate) of estimated eligible costs; any co-funding obligations are described in the call and typically beneficiaries must ensure other resources to cover the non-funded portion. Double funding: strict prohibition on double funding from EU budget sources; projects must not receive funding for the same costs from another EU grant. No-profit rule applies: grants must not produce profit. Subcontracting: allowed but should be limited and justified; subcontracting exceeding 30% of total eligible costs must be justified in the proposal.

Application templates and structure

The application uses the JUST standard application form split into Part A (administrative forms filled in the Portal) and Part B (technical description). Part B has a fixed template with sections covering: Project summary, 1. Relevance (background, needs analysis, complementarity and EU added value), 2. Quality (methodology, consortium, teams, management, monitoring & evaluation, risk management, cost-effectiveness), 3. Impact (expected impact, dissemination, sustainability), 4. Workplan and work packages (with objectives, description of tasks, milestones, deliverables, timing, staff effort, subcontracting), 5. Ethics and EU values, 6. Declarations and annexes. Page limit for Part B: 45 pages. Required annexes to upload include detailed budget table (Excel where applicable), CVs for key staff, activity report for coordinator, list of previous projects and child protection policy/declaration where relevant. For lump sum calls the detailed budget table is used to calculate the lump sum but is not part of the signed grant agreement; Annex 2 to the Grant Agreement will contain the final lump sum breakdown per beneficiary and work package.

Selection and award process, timelines and success rates

Process:admissibility and eligibility checks → evaluation by experts against award criteria → ranking and selection within budget → invite to grant preparation → legal and financial checks (legal entity validation, financial capacity assessment, exclusion checks) → grant signature. Timetable: opening 25 June 2026; submission deadline 15 October 2026; evaluation Oct 2026–Jan 2027; information to applicants March 2027; GA signature April–May 2027. Number of stages in application: single-stage submission. Number of evaluation stages: typically one-step evaluation with possible clarifications and corrections during grant preparation. Success rates: not published for this specific call; historically Justice Programme competitive calls have variable success rates depending on topic demand and available budget. Applicants should assume competitive selection and design high-quality, transnational and EU-value-adding proposals.

Detailed extraction: Categorisation questions and structured answers

Eligible Applicant Types:Eligible applicant types include: public bodies (national, regional or local authorities), non-profit organisations (NGOs, foundations, civil society organisations), universities and research institutes, courts and prosecution services, international organisations, profit-making private entities (companies) where allowed, self-employed natural persons only when the entity is a legal sole trader, affiliated entities linked to beneficiaries, and consortiums of the above. Natural persons without legal personality are generally not eligible. Associations, interest groupings and entities without legal personality may exceptionally participate if representatives can assume legal obligations. EU bodies cannot be beneficiaries (except the Commission JRC is excluded).

Funding Type:Primary financial mechanism: grant. Specifically, JUST Lump Sum Grants (lump sum funding).

Consortium Requirement:Consortium required: yes. Minimum requirement: at least two independent beneficiary legal entities from two different eligible countries. Consortium must include at least one public body, private non-profit or international organisation as beneficiary. Single-country consortia are exceptionally allowed only with clear EU added value, but transnational consortia are prioritised.

Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility):Geographic eligibility: EU Member States participating in the Justice Programme (all EU Member States except Denmark), plus third countries associated to the Justice Programme or in the process of association where agreements enter into force before grant signature. The call specifically refers to the list of participating countries which includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine among associated or participating third countries (check latest list for changes).

Target Sector:Target thematic sectors: justice, rule of law, legal and judicial cooperation, e-Justice/digital justice, victims’ rights, procedural rights in criminal proceedings, judicial training, digitalisation of judicial processes, legal services, public administration, and relevant ICT for justice (videoconferencing, decentralised IT systems, digital identity, digital case law repositories).

Mentioned Countries:Explicitly mentioned countries and regions in the call text: EU Member States (except Denmark). Third countries explicitly listed in documentation as participating or with confirmed interest include: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine. The call text also references Member States collectively and EU level instruments. Applicants should consult the up-to-date list of participating countries on the Justice Programme list of participating countries.

Project Stage:Expected maturity: projects are expected at development, validation and demonstration stages. Activities cover preparatory work, analytical and conceptual work, IT software development, pilot and implementation support, capacity building, mutual learning and dissemination. Proposals focusing only on theoretical research may be less competitive than practical, implementable projects with direct, transferable benefits.

Funding Amount:Funding range per project: minimum requested grant €100,000; maximum requested grant €800,000. Call-level indicative budget: total estimated available for this call €9,400,000 for 2027 across the two topics (budget split across priorities indicated in call and work programme). Actual awarded amount per project may be lower than the requested amount.

Application Type:Method of application: Open call (calls for proposals) with single-stage electronic submission via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. Not invitation-only. Submissions accepted until the single-stage deadline (15 October 2026).

Nature of Support:Beneficiaries will receive monetary support in the form of lump sum grants (fixed amount payable on achievement/acceptance of work package deliverables and completion milestones) and non-monetary services such as capacity building and technical support achieved through project activities. Primary support modality: money (lump sum grant).

Application Stages:Application and award stages: 1 (single-stage submission). Evaluation process: one-step evaluation by experts, ranking, invitation to grant preparation. Grant preparation may include clarifications and adjustments; final award requires successful legal, financial and exclusion checks. Therefore overall process involves submission → evaluation → invitation to grant preparation → legal/financial checks → signature.

Success Rates:Success rates are not published for this specific call in the available documentation. Historically, Justice Programme calls are competitive; success depends on quality, relevance, impact, consortium composition and budget availability. Applicants should assume competitive selection and design proposals to meet thresholds: minimum 25/40 for Relevance and 70/100 overall.

Co-funding Requirement:Co-funding: The grant reimburses 90% of the estimated eligible costs (funding rate stated). Applicants must ensure co-financing for the remaining share. The detailed budget must demonstrate the estimated eligible costs and co-financing sources. No double funding allowed from the EU budget for the same costs. No additional mandatory co-financing percentage is indicated beyond the funding rate; beneficiaries must cover remaining costs from their own resources or other non-EU sources.
