Businesses, public administrations, and entities from the EU Member States, EFTA/EEA countries, and associated countries have been called to submit their proposals for the Digital Europe Programme, under the 2023-2024 Work Programmes.

Over €12mln are budgeted for the projects that will be implemented under these calls. The initiative focuses on providing continuous support for the creation of data spaces, one of the major pillars of the EU data strategy. Out of that budget, €8mln will be allocated towards the European tourism data space, a key pillar of the tourism transition pathway. Also, €4mln will be invested towards the deployment of a data space for cultural heritage.

These investments continue the European Commission's roll-out of the European Data Strategy and its efforts to develop a thriving European data economy.

More information as regards applying for grants for these calls for proposals can be found here. Further calls under the 2023-2024 Work Programme will be published later this year.
