Calls for projects: What data is in keep.eu? How is it collected?

At any given moment, keep.eu users can check which calls for project applications are ongoing in Interreg. And, from keep.eu (here), they can access all the information on these calls, at the respective programme websites areas.

The information on calls in keep.eu is collected by Interact itself, following a four-month cycle, with new updates usually finalised by the end of January, May, and September. Programmes are welcome to add any details or edit any information after those updates are done.

The process making this possible is described below:

1. Keep.eu’s data manager checks the websites of all programmes for information on upcoming calls.

2. The data manager adds the details of upcoming calls in keep.eu.

3. The information is automatically published in the keep.eu programme pages.

4. The data manager informs all Interreg programmes once each round of updates is completed. This information is typically emailed to keep.eu’s programme contact within five working days after the latest review. The professionals in the programmes working with keep.eu are asked to check their programmes’ call data, and they can edit that data in a tool put together with that purpose in mind. (To be able to edit data, those professionals need to be registered and be designated by their programme’s senior management as keep.eu data editors.)

5. Each programme editor, after registering to keep.eu and being designated by their head of JS or MA, can edit the information on calls in keep.eu. They need to log in to keep.eu and go to Kamut (top-right hand side of the keep.eu screen). Once in Kamut they need to select the top left-hand side link “Programme call data”. The editing form is very intuitive and easy to use. For any doubt, programme editors are encouraged to ask for help by writing to the email address keep.support@interact.eu. The data manager is their main contact for these matters.
