New rules - EuroSpeleo Projects funding


Dear Caver Friends, 

From exploration expeditions to scientific conferences, from trainings to didactic or artistic projects, with more than 50 European projects granted since 2007, and 10 to 15 new requests every year, the FSE EuroSpeleo Projects have shown their great interest to bring together the European cavers from all over Europe to develop creative and dynamic new Speleological projects.

This email to inform you that the EuroSpeleo Projects (ESP) funding rules have evolved in order to adapt gradually the funding grant amount to the project size and to open it to the projects that count only 4 Europan countries (against 5 minimum previously). The projects made with FEALC or Africa-Middle-East countries are still with a minimum of 3 countries.

All the changes are summurized in the points 3 and 4 of the ESP request form available here : http://eurospeleo.org/main6/eurospeleo-projects/eurospeleo-projects-funding-application-form-v0-5.rtf The request must be sent to contact@eurospeleo.org at least 4 months before the begining of the project. After that delay, the requests are not valid.

We want to take this opportunity to warmly thank the 3 European FSE Official Partners (Beal’s rope, Aventure Verticale’s gear and Scurion’s Lamps) for all the support they bring to each ESP projects all along the year (500m rope, 500 euros gear and 1 Power-lamp over the 400 euros minimum FSE grant). You can visit their websites indicated hereunder.

Should you have any further questions on ESP, please let know at contact@eurospeleo.org , The FSE stand will be in Marbella next weekend (23-25 Sept), See you there and good luck for your future EuroSpeleo Projects organisation !
