Principles for Grant Selection
- An active engagement by grant holders to search for other sources of funding to secure projects in the long term is required
- Cross-cutting projects and activities related to the main EBCC projects but also beyond (e.g. with single-species monitoring, with projects funded by other organisations) are encouraged
- The importance of a project for EBCC programmes and priorities plays a role in the selection, too.
