Results of the calls for proposals: Grants – Events 2026

Calls for Proposals: Grants and Events 2026 – 87 applications were received this year!

This past year of accreditation has been a record-breaking period! With 87 applications received, the selection process proved particularly challenging due to the very high level of competition within each committee.

Following deliberations by the thematic committees, the arbitration committee and the steering committee, 8 successful applicants have been shortlisted for grants, 6 projects have been placed on the reserve list and 13 events will receive funding.

The list of selected projects below is in alphabetical order by project name.
