CERV Action Plan ES

ongoing

"The Punto Europeo de Ciudadanía, designated as National Contact Point (NCP) for the CERV programme (Sub-Directorate General of Cultural Cooperation with the Autonomous Regions of the Spanish Ministry of Culture), is responsible for ensuring the targeted and effective dissemination of the programme, its activities, results, and funding opportunities. Moreover, it supports the Agency/European Commission on this purpose and cooperates with the network of CERV NCPs. To achieve these objectives at national level, our main tasks are: -To provide potential candidates with information and technical coaching by email, phone, in-person or online meetings. - To organise different events according to our target groups (applicants, stakeholders and beneficiaries): info days and conferences, mainly focused on introducing the programme to new entities and informing about practical issues; capacity building sessions, more focused on practical issues related to the submission process and priorities, or on main topics of each strand; and meetings, to gather additional information from stakeholders in order to generate ideas. - To spread information about the calls, funded projects and results (including ""success stories"") through newsletters, promotional materials, our website, and social media. Most of the info sessions and workshops organised by us -or with our collaboration- include the participation of selected projects for funding. - To facilitate EU partner searches through different databases and direct contacts. Regarding the development and impact of the programme, we maintain a fluent communication with the EACEA and EC providing expertise, support, and assistance in specific issues related to Spain. Moreover, we ensure a geographical balance of our activities, based on a results-oriented strategy and the reach of new stakeholders (including from rural or remote areas)."
