The call offers up to EUR 2 million in total, with up to EUR 80,000 per project. Up to 25 projects can be funded, and each should reach at least 1,200 learners. Consortia need at least one education provider and one business or industry partner. Proposals that widen participation have priority, especially those that reach women and girls, and learners from countries in the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme. The call is open to all strategic sectors, and its examples come from mobility. Skilled-labour shortages are a constant concern in manufacturing. A vocational school or training centre and a machinery company can use this call to fund a practical programme together.
