Funding and Tenders Portal V6.0.0 is scheduled for release on 27st January 2022, in order to introduce the new Partner Search, as well as the Financial Support for Third Parties page under My Project(s), and the updated layout of the Support overview page.

New features:

• Introduction of a new version of the Partner Search functionality:

Partner Search on the Funding & Tenders Portal, under How to Participate, allows you to search for potential partners (organisations and individuals) to help you in your project proposal. The Partner search functionality was already available, but it has been reviewed and improved in order to incorporate different changes, including the possibility to place announcements for expertise as individual using your person profile. 
For more information, consult the Find partners page.

• Introduction of the new Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP) tab under My Projects:

Cascade Funding, also known as Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), is a Commission mechanism to distribute public funding in order to assist beneficiaries, such as start-ups, scale-ups, SME and/or mid-caps, in the uptake or development of digital innovation.
