Medium Grants 2024

Status of the procedure

The deadline for submitting project outlines for this year's ideas competition was 14 January 2025, 11:59 am (CET).

In total, the IKI Office at ZUG received 177 outlines out of which 117 were submitted for the thematic priority I: ‘Promotion of ambitious participatory measures for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions’ and 60 for the thematic priority II: ‘Integrative measures for the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity in cities’. 138 implementing organisations from 35 different countries participated in the ideas competition.

The technical review of all formally admissible outlines submitted on time has now been completed. The remaining outlines are currently in the final selection process.

As this coordination process takes some time, a final selection decision is expected to be made during the summer of 2025.

All implementing organisations will be informed of the result in writing once the selection process has been completed. We ask for your patience until then and would like to thank all participants for their contributions to the competition.

A maximum of up to twelve projects worth up to 8 million euros in public funding will be selected. The selected projects are expected to start in the second quarter of 2026 at the earliest.
