Etek opens applications for sixth participatory budget

Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (Etek) has opened applications for its sixth participatory budget, offering funding for projects intended to deliver practical benefits to the profession and wider society. A total of €100,000 is available, with grants of up to €20,000 per project or action.

Eligibility and assessment

Proposals must fall within Etek’s areas of activity and responsibility, extend beyond the chamber’s membership and have a positive impact on professionals and the public.

Projects must produce a practical outcome or usable deliverable capable of generating wider added value, rather than remaining solely at the research or discussion stage.

Applications may be submitted by individuals or legal entities that are Etek members. Each proposal must also be countersigned by at least two additional chamber members.

Submissions will be assessed by a five-member evaluation committee.

Deadline and information

Applications must be submitted exclusively by email to [email protected] by 2pm on Monday, October 12, 2026.

Etek advised applicants to review the call’s terms carefully and submit fully completed application forms. Further information and documents are available on the Etek website.
