Call for applicants – European Union Diplomatic Programme for the Enlargement Region

The College of Europe is excited to announce it will host, beginning early 2025, a new diplomatic programme: the European Union Diplomatic Programme for the Enlargement Region. This programme, funded by DG NEAR, complements the recently established European Union Diplomatic Academy, funded by the EEAS. The overall objective of the European Union Diplomatic Programme for the Enlargement Region is to foster regional cooperation among junior officials of the enlargement region and with their EU peers by creating a unified ‘esprit de corps’ and strengthening their knowledge in EU affairs. The Programme is especially tailored towards junior officials working in the field of foreign policy (EU Common Foreign and Security Policy - CFSP) and EU accession. Interested candidates to join the first cohort of the new 5-month-long residential programme are invited to apply before December 09th (18:00 CET). The programme welcomes candidates from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo*, the Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine and Türkiye.

ScienceUs Upscale Academy – Scaling Citizen Science for Climate Resilience

The ScienceUs Upscale Academy offers citizen science initiatives a unique opportunity to scale their impact and support the EU’s mission of "Adaptation to Climate Change." Through a three-phase programme—Seed, Flourish, and Harvest—selected projects will receive funding, expert guidance, and collaboration opportunities with key stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders. The programme focuses on scaling successful citizen science campaigns, fostering transnational collaboration, and transferring best practices to create a ripple effect of knowledge and innovation. This Open Call will select 25 projects for the Seed Phase, with five advancing to the later stages for larger funding and further support. Eligible projects must address climate adaptation topics such as energy management, public services, or environmental governance. By connecting and enhancing citizen science efforts, ScienceUs empowers communities to co-create practical solutions for climate resilience. Applications are now open and will be accepted until 6th January 2025.
