The decision to postpone the deadline was made in view of our being in the final stage of discussions with a large donor. Support from this donor would enable us to hold regular calls for proposal in the years ahead and a larger sum to distribute in the autumn 2013 round.
The negotiations are planned to be concluded in the following days.
The new deadline will be Monday 21 October 2013, 9 am, Brussels time. Journalists who have already submitted an application, do not need to re-apply.
