CBE JU Info Day webinar - 12 March 2026

The 2026 Info Day was held online, bringing together over 1,000 participants. Experts from CBE JU, BIC and the European Commission presented the call topics, rules and requirements, and shared practical tips for strong proposals, with participants engaging via a dedicated Q&A tool. A recording of the event is available online.
