Questions about funding in Estonia

Can a Romanian company apply to Estonian programmes?

As a rule, national and regional programmes in Estonia are intended for organisations established there (registered office, subsidiary or local unit). Some research and cooperation calls accept partners from other member states. The exact conditions are in each programme's guide, and each card links to the official page. The European Commission calls below are open directly to Romanian entities as well.

Where does the data on Estonia come from?

From 2 official state sources (national agencies, ministries, funding portals), checked daily: ETAG – Avatud taotlusvoorud; RTK – Avatud ja suletud taotlusvoorud. Titles and summaries are machine-translated; the official text remains the one in the original language.

The list is generated automatically from official sources and does not replace the call guide. Check the conditions and deadlines on the official page before applying. For programmes in Romania, see the national funding calendar.

Want to apply to a programme in Estonia?

We will tell you whether you qualify (including through a subsidiary or partners there) and write the application for you — for national programmes and for European Commission calls.
