There should be one coordinating partner, which would have to be an EU partner. Eligible partners: national (governmental), regional, or local authorities as well as bodies governed by public law Total budget: 30,000 - 50,000 EUR / project

4 Seed Money Facility The seed money project should result into a concrete plan for the main project. This plan should include: o A work plan describing activities and outputs of the main project o potential project partnership o indicative budget plan o result of investigation of funding possibilities o list of steps to be taken after finalisation of the SMP At the end of the seed money phase, project owners should provide an overview of complementary projects and state of affairs in the field they are addressing to allow for synergies, and to avoid double efforts. They should further on have entered into a dialogue with the Priority Area Coordinators (PACs) of the Action Plan to the EUSBSR and the other stakeholders of the field addressed by the project. Finally, where appropriate they should have prepared a feasibility/pre-investment study (in case of the main projects including the investment components).
