Summary
The Interreg North Sea Programme Call 6 is a capitalisation call designed to amplify and upscale the positive impacts of existing projects from the VIB (current) Interreg North Sea programme period. The call aims to transform proven project outputs to reach new target groups or domains, extending the reach and impact of earlier investments. Thematically the North Sea Programme covers four priority areas aligned with the European agenda: robust and smart economies, green transitions, climate resilience and pollution and biodiversity, and better governance. Call 6 is specifically for capitalisation activities, meaning applicants must build on and amplify outputs from previous Interreg North Sea projects rather than conducting new research or pilots from scratch. Marine plastic, circular economy in the North Sea, and sustainable blue economy projects from earlier rounds could be capitalised through this call. Geographic scope covers the North Sea region: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Danish organisations are eligible as partners and potential lead organisations. The programme has previously funded projects on North Sea plastic litter, circular economy in maritime sectors, and coastal sustainability. Eligible applicants include existing VIB project partners and newcomers; up to 9 partners per project. Funding up to EUR 1 million per project for 1.5-2 year project duration. ERDF co-financing rate is 60% for eligible member states. The call opens December 2026 with a mid-March 2027 deadline. Key milestones: guidance note published May 2026; GetReady! event June 24, 2026 in Lille; application window December 2026 to March 2027; advisory consultations available year-round. Target beneficiaries include organisations, municipalities, businesses, and communities in the North Sea region seeking to scale up proven sustainable development approaches.
