Opening date: November 2023
Deadline model: single-stage, three cut-off dates
Deadline for submitting a Motivation Letter:
* 31.01.2024
* 30.05.2024
* 30.10.2024
The Motivation Letter from a co-creation team is considered submitted once all co-creation team members confirm participation in the co-creation team and confirm the terms and conditions.

Although not mandatory, co-creation teams are encouraged to apply with a single strong Motivation Letter rather than multiple less-elaborated applications that may be rejected and thus cost them a valuable opportunity (since the maximum number of Motivation Letters throughout all three cut-off dates is three).
