The Sidro Foundation and Smart Kolektiv have launched a call for project proposals in Vojvodina aimed at fostering sustainable agriculture, business innovation, the inclusion of vulnerable groups, and the revitalization of rural areas. 

The call, open until February 17, invites applications from agricultural holdings, rural tourism households, micro, small, and medium enterprises, entrepreneurs, and civil society organizations, as well as individuals up to 40 years old. Civil society organizations can apply for grants of up to €15,000, while other participants are eligible for funding of up to €10,000, along with expert support valued at up to €5,000. Eligible applicants include registered legal entities and individuals with residence or headquarters in Vojvodina. 

Applications must be submitted by completing the official form available on the Smart Kolektiv website.

Project implementation is expected to begin in early April. The selection process will be based on predefined criteria, including relevance, contribution to the local community, socio-economic impact, innovation, sustainability, and established partnerships. 

Detailed information on eligibility criteria and application conditions is available on the Smart Kolektiv website (Serbian language). Interested candidates may submit inquiries via email to sidro@smartkolektiv.org no later than January 24. Responses to all submitted questions will be published on the website by January 31.
