Dar una segunda vida a los resultados de los proyectos clásicos
After two standard calls which financed 76 projects, then a capitalization call and a call for structural projects, Interreg Sudoe is launching a call entirely devoted to valorisation. It is aimed at the 34 standard projects from the 1st call whose execution ends between September and December 2026.
What is a valorisation project?
A valorisation project starts from one or more output already obtained by a standard Sudoe 2021-2027 project (a pilot, a strategy, an action plan) and organizes their operational deployment beyond the original territory and partnership.
On an administrative and financial level, it constitutes an autonomous operation, with its own partnership, its own budget, and its own schedule.
It is not a new project
The valorisation
project is directly linked to the standard project from which it stems: it can
neither pursue other objectives nor develop new outputs.
It also cannot be used to extend the standard project to complete outputs that were planned but not reached.
Three ways to valorise
01
Transfer
the outputs to new actors
02
Replicate
their implementation in new contexts
03
Broaden their scope
to maximize their impact and their contribution to public policies
Each standard project can only submit one application. It is up to the partnership to choose, among its outputs, the one(s) that present the greatest potential for valorisation.

What is expected from the projects
Foster adoption
of the standard project’s outputs by new actors and/or territories
Promote their integration
into public policies, territorial strategies, or planning instruments
Ensure continuity
and the broadening of their impact after the end of the standard project
Sufficiently mature outputs
Only outputs that have reached at least the “version consolidated with the partnership” level can be capitalized. The level of maturity of each output must be justified in the application.
Level 1 · Not eligible
Working version / draft
In development, without internal validation
Level 2 · Minimum threshold
Version consolidated with the partnership
Finalized and validated internally by the beneficiaries of the standard project
Level 3
Validated by external stakeholders
Tested by end users, administrations or experts
Level 4
Adopted or integrated into an institutional framework
Incorporated into a policy, strategy or regulatory framework
Who can apply?
The partnership shall consist only of entities actively participating in the deployment, transfer, or uptake of outputs, or which provide key capabilities. Therefore, not all beneficiaries of the standard project are intended to participate.
Mandatory conditions
Restrictions
- At least one beneficiary of the standard project per Member State (Spain, France, Portugal), either as lead partner or beneficiary.
- A lead partner who has already participated in the standard project. It is recommended to keep the same one; any change must be justified.
- For each beneficiary from the standard project, at least 60% of their budget must be entered as expenditure in the financial system at the time of application.
× No new companies (category IV) may join the partnership, including former associated partners.
× Andorran entities, companies, and French entities established outside the Sudoe area cannot be lead partners.
× Andorran entities participate as “partners from Andorra”, without ERDF aid.
The partnership may evolve: new beneficiaries may join the project and others may withdraw, if it serves the valorisation objectives. These changes must be justified in the application.
Financiación
Call for projects budget
The ERDF funding for this call for proposals comes from the remaining funds from the standard projects under the 1st call for proposals and, where applicable, from unallocated funds from the 3rd and 4th calls for proposals.
The exact ERDF amount is not yet known. An estimate will be provided in April 2027, prior to the Monitoring Committee’s programming process.
When preparing project budgets, the following factors must be taken into account:
- € 50 000 minimum budget per beneficiary receiving ERDF (€37,500 of ERDF)
- 65 % maximum personnel costs per beneficiary
- 15 % maximum for the management and coordination work package
- Preparation costs are not eligible.
