Grants for 20 new transnational Projects in Sport Sector

Covering topics such as the promotion of physical activity and grassroots sport, the European Commission provides € 3.2 million of funds. Following the 2012 call for proposals in the framework of the Preparatory Action "European Partnership on Sports" the Commission has signed grant agreements for 20 projects implemented by organisations including the IPC, TAFISA and ISCA.   

The projects cover the four areas of the call for proposals:

• Fight against match-fixing: 5 projects; • Promotion of physical activity supporting active ageing: 4 projects; • Awareness-raising about effective ways of promoting sport at municipal level: 5 projects; • Trans-frontier joint grassroots sport competitions in neighbouring regions and Member States: 6 projects.

The projects will be implemented between January 2013 and mid-2014.
