The first stage in the CONNECTED pump-prime funding calls opened on Monday 12 March 2018, with an invitation to potential applicants to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI).

This call is the first of two that will run during the CONNECTED project lifetime. The EoI deadline is 8 April 2018, and the funding will support a variety of small projects (up to £30,000), and possibly a small number of larger (up to £90,000) projects that can run for three to 12 months, irrespective of cost.
