Arms Control and Disarmament: Overseeing Weapons of Power

The European Union has announced new funding opportunities for projects aimed at disarmament and the strengthening of the existing disarmament and arms control architecture. Here are the key details for potential applicants:

Contact details for application submission are provided, and interested parties are encouraged to apply. However, it's important to note that own or third-party funds must be contributed for funding; full funding is only possible in very well-justified exceptional cases.
The funding duration can span up to the current fiscal year and three subsequent years, providing ample time for comprehensive projects.
There are no geographical restrictions on the applications, meaning projects from all over the world can be considered.
In the export control area, the funding aims to strengthen the global export control architecture through capacity building and exchange of experience.
Projects in the conventional area include measures to secure conventional weapons and ammunition from unauthorized access, as well as preventive measures to prevent the proliferation of conventional weapons in post-conflict situations.
Capacity building is also carried out in partner states to mitigate and reduce illegal small arms.
The goal is to maintain and further develop the existing disarmament and arms control architecture, with a focus on measures to expand dialogue on future technologies and strengthen space security.
Applicants should submit their applications at least 12 weeks before the start of the measures to ensure adequate time for consideration.
Project applications should pursue gender-sensitive approaches, reflecting the EU's commitment to inclusivity and equality.
Certain types of expenditures, such as cost-based applications, are excluded from the funding.
It's worth noting that there is no specific funding guideline or funding concept explicitly dedicated to projects on disarmament and disarmament architecture available in the provided search results. Existing funding programs focus mainly on energy efficiency, building refurbishment, and industrial innovation rather than on disarmament-related projects.
Lastly, applications from individuals are excluded. Only organisations are eligible to apply for these funding opportunities.

Interested parties are encouraged to review the provided contact details and carefully consider the guidelines before submitting their applications. The EU looks forward to supporting innovative and impactful projects in the field of disarmament and arms control.
