Division 2.5.2 Other conferences

Financial contributions by the Community may be awarded for the organisation of conferences which:

• Pursue as their primary goal one or more priorities of this annual work programme as described in points 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4;

• Have wide-European Union dimension, e.g. with the participations of representations from 10 or more countries participating in the second Health Programme;

• Are organised by a public body or a non-profit-making body agreed by the Commission established in a Country participating in the second Health Programme.

A Call for proposals for conferences will be launched in the first quarter of 2008 describing the areas for funding, the selection and award criteria and the procedures for application and approval. Selected conferences are eligible for lump sum financing by the Community up to EUR 100 000 (maximum 50 % of the total budget) per conference, although co-financing is still requested.
