What budget is allocated to URBACT projects
URBACT projects have two phases and a total budget between €150,000 and €710,000 covering both phases (see below). This budget finances its activities: meetings, conferences, publications, communication, etc.
An additional amount is available to each project to cover the costs of thematic and methodological support provided by experts approved by the programme. This amount is:
- €50,000 for a Working Group
- €125,000 for a Thematic Network
Implementation of Local Action Plans is covered by the partners or, if possible, by European operational programmes such as ERDF, European Social Fund, etc.
