€50,000 to €500,000 EU Remembrance Grants

  • Organization: European Commission (EACEA)
  • Type: Grant
  • Location: Global
  • Deadline: February 24, 2027
  • Funding: Fully Funded

The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), which runs this call for the European Commission, funds projects that commemorate, research and teach about defining experiences of 20th century Europe: democratic transitions, the Holocaust against Jewish people, the persecution of Roma, LGBTIQ+ and other victims, and the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration. Partnerships of at least two organisations, led by a non-profit and based in the EU or one of eight associated countries, can apply for lump-sum grants of €50,000 to €500,000 under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme. The five topics share €28 million. **What you get:** - An EU lump-sum grant of €50,000 to €500,000 per project; the grant awarded can be lower than the amount you request - A fixed amount per event (work package), set by how many people take part directly and how many eligible countries they come from, not by your actual costs; the online application form calculates it for you - Each in-person event is worth €13,215 (25 to 50 participants from one to three countries) up to €52,860 (more than 276 participants from more than 15 countries); online events are worth €13,070 to €29,820, according to the Commission's lump-sum decision - Normally 60 percent of the maximum grant paid up front after the grant agreement is signed - Funding for projects that normally run 12 to 24 months, with events in person or online - Indicative budgets: €14 million for remembrance of the Holocaust against Jewish people, €5 million for the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration, €4 million for democratic transitions, and €2.5 million each for Roma victims and for LGBTIQ+ and other victims **What you'll do:** - Choose one of the five topics, since each proposal can address only one: CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-TRANSITION (democratic transitions and rebuilding democratic institutions), HOLOCAUSTJEW (the Holocaust against Jewish people), GENCRIME-1 (Roma victims), GENCRIME-2 (LGBTIQ+ and other victims of 20th century genocides, war crimes and crimes against humanity) or HISTMIGRATION (the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration in today's multicultural Europe) - Build the project from several events that bring citizens or stakeholders together: training, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal education, research, collecting and digitising testimonies, publications, online tools and creative actions - Make every event participatory: an in-person event needs at least 25 participants from one country and an online one at least 101 participants from two countries, and watching a film or visiting an exhibition does not count on its own, while a screening followed by a debate does - Work with at least one partner organisation; transnational projects are particularly encouraged, and projects are expected to link non-profits, grassroots groups, public administrations, academia, museums, memorial and learning sites and educational institutions - Ideas the call names include networks of young ambassadors for Shoah remembrance and against antigypsyism, teaching materials on Roma history, activities marking 2 August, European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, and monitoring and countering Holocaust distortion online - Apply online through the EU Funding and Tenders Portal with Part A (participants and the lump-sum budget), Part B (a project description of up to 70 pages), the KPI tool and annexes, including a list of past projects and, if you work with under-18s, a child protection policy - Once funded, report on each event and ask participants to fill in the EU Survey on Justice, Rights and Values **Key dates:** - 1 October 2026: call published - 21 October 2026: open for submission on all five topics - 30 October 2026, 17:00 Brussels time: registration closes for the online info session - Thursday 5 November 2026, 09:30 to 17:00 Brussels time: full-day online info session in English, run by EACEA - 24 February 2027, 17:00 Brussels time (11:00 in Toronto and New York): applications close - February to August 2027: evaluation - August 2027: results - August to November 2027: grant agreements signed **More information:** - The 35-page call document sets out every condition: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/cerv/wp-call/2026/call-fiche_cerv-2026-citizens-rem_en.pdf ; French and German translations are linked from the topic pages - Each topic page carries call updates, a public Q&A, a partner search for finding consortium members, and the Start submission button - Every organisation in the consortium needs an EU Login account and a nine-digit participant identification code (PIC) from the Participant Register before you submit - You can write the proposal in any official EU language, but the summary must be in English and the agency strongly advises English throughout - Evaluators score relevance (40 points, with a 25-point minimum), quality (40) and impact (20); a proposal needs 70 of 100 to be considered for funding - If you use generative AI to prepare the proposal, you must say which tools you used and how - This call covers both 2026 and 2027; there will be no separate European Remembrance call in 2027 - Questions go to your country's CERV National Contact Point or to EACEA-CERV@ec.europa.eu, with the call reference CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM in the subject line

About this opportunity

The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), which runs this call for the European Commission, funds projects that commemorate, research and teach about defining experiences of 20th century Europe: democratic transitions, the Holocaust against Jewish people, the persecution of Roma, LGBTIQ+ and other victims, and the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration.

  • A fixed amount per event (work package), set by how many people take part directly and how many eligible countries they come from, not by your actual costs; the online application form calculates it for you
  • Each in-person event is worth €13,215 (25 to 50 participants from one to three countries) up to €52,860 (more than 276 participants from more than 15 countries); online events are worth €13,070 to €29,820, according to the Commission's lump-sum decision

What you'll do:

  • Choose one of the five topics, since each proposal can address only one: CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-TRANSITION (democratic transitions and rebuilding democratic institutions), HOLOCAUSTJEW (the Holocaust against Jewish people), GENCRIME-1 (Roma victims), GENCRIME-2 (LGBTIQ+ and other victims of 20th century genocides, war crimes and crimes against humanity) or HISTMIGRATION (the legacy of colonialism, slavery and migration in today's multicultural Europe)
  • Build the project from several events that bring citizens or stakeholders together: training, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal education, research, collecting and digitising testimonies, publications, online tools and creative actions
  • Make every event participatory: an in-person event needs at least 25 participants from one country and an online one at least 101 participants from two countries, and watching a film or visiting an exhibition does not count on its own, while a screening followed by a debate does
  • Work with at least one partner organisation; transnational projects are particularly encouraged, and projects are expected to link non-profits, grassroots groups, public administrations, academia, museums, memorial and learning sites and educational institutions

Who can apply

  • Organisations only: legal entities, public or private. Individuals cannot apply, except self-employed sole traders
  • The lead applicant (coordinator) must be a non-profit legal entity, public or private, or an international organisation; co-applicants can be non-profit or for-profit, and for-profit organisations can take part only alongside public bodies, private non-profits or international organisations
  • Applicants must be established in an EU Member State (including its overseas countries and territories) or in a country associated to the CERV programme: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia or Ukraine. Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein do not take part. International organisations are eligible wherever they are based

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +50,000 to 500,000 euro per project from a 28 million euro call, with 14 million euro for Holocaust remembrance alone
  • +Paid as fixed lump sums per event, normally with 60 percent up front once the grant agreement is signed
  • +Clear rules: five topics with their own budgets, published scoring and a public Q&A on every topic page
  • +Open now, four months before the deadline, with a full-day online info session on 5 November 2026
  • +Youth work fits: the topics name networks of young ambassadors and education for pupils, students and young people
  • +No fee anywhere in the process

Worth checking yourself

  • !The grant is a set of fixed sums per event and, in the Commission's words, cannot finance the entire cost of the project. Expect to cover some costs yourself: past Remembrance grants covered about 63 percent of real costs on average
  • !Organisations only, established in the EU or in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia or Ukraine; the lead must be a non-profit or an international organisation
  • !You need at least one partner organisation, and a lead organisation can coordinate only one proposal in the whole call
  • !A demanding application: up to 70 pages of project description, an event-by-event lump-sum budget and EU portal registration (a PIC) for every partner
  • !An event only counts with at least 25 participants from one country in person, or 101 participants from two countries online
  • !The call depends on the EU adopting its 2027 budget, and there will be no separate Remembrance call in 2027
  • !The portal's call list can show 23 February to readers in the Americas because it converts the date to local time; the deadline is 24 February 2027 at 17:00 Brussels time, which is 11:00 am in Toronto and New York
