EU announces "Getting to Know Europe" grant competition

This program supports activities that encourage greater understanding of the European Union, and of the many ties between the United States and the European Union, within local and regional communities in the United States.

Activities can include competitions, publications and other information products, training and briefing sessions, study and exchange visits, and town twinning arrangements. All activities should be focused at the local level, engaging students, teachers, local & state government and civil society leaders, and others in promoting greater understanding of the European Union. Such activities will be funded for the period 1 December 2008 to 31 December 2009.

Universities are included among institutions eligible to apply provided that they are not currently receiving European Commission funding for European Union Centers of Excellence.

The Call for Proposals requires that all submissions must be received by 18 September 2008.
