Project idea template

It is not mandatory to submit an early project idea to be able to apply from the programme.  

It is possible to get feedback on project ideas regarding regular projects (not small-scale projects).

If you want to submit an early project idea to get some feedback before you submit the actual application for a regular project – you must use the project idea template from the Aurora programme (download template below on this webpage – template updated March 2024).

The terms for submitting project ideas for regular projects are stated in the terms of reference for each call for applications, you can find them here. Please note that the terms of references are specific for each call based on the progress of the Interreg Aurora programme. It is important that you always read and check the terms of reference before applying!

Project ideas regarding the 7th call for regular projects can be sent to interregaurora@lansstyrelsen.se  from the 1 June until the 1 August 2025. You can expect feedback on your idea during August 2025.

Your idea must be described on the template that you can find here.

• If you have submitted an idea and already received positive feedback but the application was withdrawn because you didn’t manage to come up with enough co-financing in a specific call – you can apply in the next call with the same idea (without submitting the early project idea before next call) if you have managed to solve the co-financing issue.
• There is no guarantee that you will have a positive outcome in the application phase even though you had positive feedback in the early project idea phase. The Joint Secretariat will assess all applications when a call is closed and the Steering Committees will prioritize which applications will get funding. 
• If you get what can be considered negative feedback, you can try to solve the issues and apply anyway.
