Please note
There is no legal entitlement to a subsidy. The granting authority decides within the framework of the available budget resources and at its own discretion.
You may only start with the planned measures after the responsible authority has approved the funding. This also applies to the conclusion of delivery and service contracts.
If you are approved for grants, you must then prove that the funds were used appropriately
Deadlines
No deadline to submit an application. However, you must have the funding approval before you start implementing any measures.
You must submit evidence of the appropriate use of the funding to the responsible authority no later than six months after the end of the funding period.
