General Support Fund
Call for submission of bids
The purpose of the General Support Fund (GSF) is to support any activity related to EURO that cannot be covered by other instruments of EURO.
The General Support fund should not be used as a support to regular activities of the member societies and EURO working groups (such as national meetings and conferences). Also bids aiming at supporting a single individual are not acceptable.
Priority will be given to:
- bids for projects in 2028 and 2029,
- bids that give special consideration to the need of students (e.g., organiser of an event related to EURO willing to subsidise the participation of students),
- bids that give special consideration to the need of organisers of OR events in Central and Eastern Europe,
- bids that emanate from a member society of EURO or organisers of EURO sponsored events or organisers of events sponsored by a member society of EURO.
The budget is limited and EURO want to support a range of activities, so the maximum amount of support available for any one activity will be €7,500. The current budget available for applications is €25,000.
Please also check the guidelines: https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1675/guidelines
The deadline for submissions is 1st April 2027.
The bids are kept informal. They should, however, always contain a description of the project and a rough budget. This budget should contain enough information to show the overall financial estimates as well as what percentage of the funding would be requested through the GSF. The application should also mention the support that has been obtained or solicited from other sources. All applications needs to have a date and a signature from the main applicant. Please note we have an online submission system for bids. You will need to register and you will receive confirmation of your submission. Bids should be submitted (concatenate all documents into one PDF) online.

Recipients should expect to receive a response about their application early in May 2027.
Please contact Jesper Larsen (secretary@euro-online.org) if you have any questions or need advice on applications for GSF support..
