Europe for Citizens: Strand 2: Democratic engagement and civic participation - Networks of Towns

Network of towns is aimed at providing funding to municipalities and associations working together on a common theme in a long term perspective, and wishing to develop networks of towns to make their cooperation more sustainable.
The measure Network of towns is the second Measure of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the Europe for Citizens 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process.

Thematic networking between municipalities on issues of common interest enables informed discussions and exchange of good practice.
The potential of the networks created by a series of town twinning links should be used for developing thematic and long-lasting cooperation between towns. The European Commission supports the development of such networks, which are important for ensuring structured, intense and multifaceted cooperation.

Deadlines:
1 September 2016, (CET/CEST, Brussels time), for projects starting between 1 January and 30 June of the year after the deadline.
