With the objective of supporting the operation of the European network for VET – ReferNet –, this call aims at selecting one applicant from France with which Cedefop will conclude a 20-month Framework partnership agreement.
Framework partnership agreements are implemented through four Specific grant agreements (one per financial year). The Framework partnership agreement defines the legal and financial framework and the scope of activities. Specific grant agreements define the partner’s annual work plans.
Applicants are therefore required to submit under this grant procedure:
- a proposal for a 20-month Framework partnership agreement for the years 2026 - 2027 and
- a proposal for the Specific agreement for ReferNet action 2026 (8 months)
The conclusion of the Specific grant agreements for ReferNet action 2027 shall be subject to future consultation procedures.
All Call for proposals documents are available in the below 'Downloads' section.
This Call for proposals has been published in all EU Official languages in the Official Journal series OJ C, C/2026/1123 of 20/02/2026: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/C/2026/1123/oj
