An online seminar for preparatory projects was held on 26th-28th February. A total of 35 project idea holders made use of this opportunity to discuss the potential and substance of their ideas. The Secretariat hopes that this was a useful experience for potential applicants and remains available for further information. To help us assess the effectiveness of this service, all participants are kindly asked to fill in a survey. 

In addition, further clarification of the adjacent areas to the programme in Russia and Canada is given in an updated preparatory project call announcement. The adjacent areas in Canada now primarily cover Nunavut, Labrador, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The updated call announcement is available here.
