Collaborative partnerships

Vertical Tabs

What is it for

This action offers the opportunity to develop, transfer and implement innovative practices in different areas relating to sport and physical activity between various organisations and actors in and outside sport.

Collaborative Partnerships are innovative projects aiming to:

combat doping at grassroots level, notably in recreational environments such as amateur sport and fitness;
support prevention and raise awareness among stakeholders involved in the fight against match fixing;
support prevention, educational and innovative approaches to tackle violence, racism and intolerance in sport;
support the implementation of EU policy documents in the field of sport and other relevant policy areas such as recommendations, guidelines, policy strategies, etc. (e.g. EU Physical Activity Guidelines, EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes, Principles on good governance in sport, etc.).

A particular focus will be put on projects that address grassroots sports.

What does it support

Collaborative Partnerships should promote the creation and development of European networks in the fields of sport.

Erasmus+ will support the testing and development of new project formats and new forms of transnational cooperation in the field of sport that are likely to inspire the development, on a larger scale of initiatives supported with national funding schemes or other European funds, such as the European Structural and Investment Funds.

Collaborative Partnerships should also support the implementation of the European Week of Sport which is an initiative launched by the European Commission to promote sport and physical activities in the European Union, in the light of declining participation levels (following results from the latest Euro barometer survey).

As from 2017, the European Week of Sport will take place from 23 to 30 September. Apart from the activities organised by the European Commission, Member States will organise national activities and coordinate local ones.

Further information as regards the 2019 European Week of Sport can be found on this page.

Who can benefit from it

Collaborative Partnerships are open to any type of non-profit organisation and public bodies.

Depending on the objective of the project, Collaborative Partnerships should involve an appropriate and diverse range of partners in order to benefit from different experiences, profiles and expertise and to produce relevant and high quality project results.

As a general rule, Collaborative Partnerships target the cooperation between organisations established in Programme Countries. However, organisations from Partner Countries can be involved in a Collaborative Partnership, as partners (not as applicants), if their participation brings an essential added value to the project.

For further information about the composition of a Collaborative Partnership please refer to the Programme Guide

How are applications selected

All project proposals are assessed by the Executive Agency receiving the application, exclusively on the basis of the criteria described in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide

The assessment implies:

a formal check to verify that the eligibility and exclusion criteria are respected;
a quality assessment to evaluate the extent to which the participating organisations meet the selection criteria and the project meets the award criteria. Such quality assessment is carried out with the support of independent experts.

The quality of eligible applications will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria:

Relevance;
Quality of the work plan's design and implementation;
Quality of the project team and the cooperation arrangements
Impact, dissemination and sustainability.

For detailed information on the quality review of applications submitted under Erasmus+, please consult the Guide for experts.

What happens if your application is selected

All applicants will receive a written notification of the outcome of the selection procedure as well as feedback on the evaluation of their application. For applications that have been selected for EU co-financing the EACEA will contact the applicants if any further action is required before awarding the contract. EACEA will produce a grant agreement detailing the conditions and the level of co-funding.
