Two More Workshops on Project Proposal Preparation under the EU INTEGRA Grant Scheme

As part of the “EU Support to Integrated Territorial Development – EU INTEGRA” Programme, the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities (SCTM) is organising two-day workshops on project proposal preparation ahead of the second Call for Proposals under the Programme’s grant scheme. The Programme is funded by the European Union through the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance – IPA III and implemented under the auspices of the Ministry of European Integration, with SCTM and UNOPS as implementing partners.

The second round of workshops will take place in:

• Svilajnac, 9–10 November 2026 – at Divine Park Hotel, 81 Kneza Miloša Street, Svilajnac, starting at 10:00 a.m.
• Novi Sad, 12–13 November 2026 – at Prezident Hotel, 109 Futoška Street, Novi Sad, starting at 10:00 a.m.

The workshops aim to strengthen the capacities of local self-governments and their partners to prepare high-quality and feasible development project proposals based on the priorities of territorial and local development strategies and aligned with relevant European Union procedures.

During the two-day workshops, participants will learn how to link development priorities with project ideas, assess their relevance, and define project objectives, expected results, target groups and potential partners. Particular attention will be given to planning project activities, timelines and required resources, defining indicators and developing logical frameworks, as well as the planning and technical documentation necessary for preparing infrastructure projects.

Through interactive presentations, discussions and practical group work, participants will have the opportunity to further develop and refine their project ideas and acquire the knowledge needed to prepare project proposals in accordance with EU PRAG procedures.

The workshops are intended for representatives of local self-government units, as well as other relevant institutions and organisations involved in territorial development planning and the preparation of development projects.
