Furthermore, there may be support for seed money activities, defined as drafting activities for a project concept which can be further developed into an application to the SBP.

• Address the problems to be tackled in a way that justifies cross-border actions.
• Demonstrate solutions, technologies and approaches to the problems identified that are innovative (i.e. are not executed by the beneficiaries involved on a routine basis) and that are planned, designed and implemented in a cross-border partnership.
• Achieve durable and replicable outcomes (possible to be transferred to other geographical areas of the SBP).
• Contribute to the sustainable development.
• Promote equal opportunities and non-discrimination.
• Encourage equality between men and women.

The contribution of the project proposals in fulfilling the goals of the EUSBSR (EU strategy for the baltic sea region) will also be assessed.
