EUR 2.8 billion allocated to CEE markets. [dccadmindcc](https://www.winnovart.com/news/author/dccadmindcc) October 05, 2016 The **Blue Book** has been finalised, which sets out the priority sectors and eligible programme areas under the **EEA & Norway Grants 2014-2021** funding cycle. This follows the public consultation process in June and July. Under this funding mechanism, Donor States (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) will contribute **EUR 2.8 billion** to **15 EU countries**. Furthermore, there will be three out of five priority sectors targeting private sector projects, namely **Innovation**, **Education** and **Environment**. During the public consultation period, a total of **1,455 respondents** participated, out of which 746 submitted completed responses. Despite the **69 changes** made to the Blue Book, the [list of project areas](https://www.winnovart.com/eea-norway-grants-2014-2021-public-consultation-on-funding-priorities-and-programmes/) applicable to the private sector under the aforementioned priority sectors has remained unchanged. After the finalisation of the Blue Book, there are just a few steps left until the nominated Programme Operators will draft the **Applicants’ Guides**. First of all, in the near future, the Memoranda of Understanding will be signed by the beneficiary countries. These will tailor and define the programme areas and budgets according to the needs and aims of each beneficiary country. For an overview of the 2009-2014 results of the EEA & Norway Grants mechanism, with a focus on the funding that was available for private sector enterprises, please check [Winnovart’s 2015 study](https://www.winnovart.com/eea-norway-grants-coming-back-great-funding-option-enterprises-central-eastern-europe/). For a complete overview of the programme outlook, please have a look at the final version of the Blue Book.   Categories: [2016](https://www.winnovart.com/category/2016/), [EEA&Norway grants](https://www.winnovart.com/category/eeanorway-grants/), [News](https://www.winnovart.com/category/news/) | [Permalink](https://www.winnovart.com/eea-norway-grants-blue-book-finalised-eur-2-8-billion-allocated-cee-markets/) [News](https://www.winnovart.com/news/tag/news), [2016](https://www.winnovart.com/news/tag/2016), [EEA&Norway grants](https://www.winnovart.com/news/tag/eeanorway-grants) ![](https://www.winnovart.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/logo_174x250-transparent-Copy-250x109-Aug-24-2021-09-45-54-22-AM.png) [![Facebook](https://www.winnovart.com/hubfs/social-media-icons/facebook-icon.png)](https://www.facebook.com/winnovart/) [![Twitter](https://www.winnovart.com/hubfs/social-media-icons/twitter-icon.png)](https://twitter.com/winnovart) [![LinkedIn](https://www.winnovart.com/hubfs/social-media-icons/linkedin-icon.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/winnovart) [Winnovart Surveys](https://www.winnovart.com/news/tag/surveys) [Subscribe to Winnovart's Newsletter](https://share.hsforms.com/16rADODCGRgKIED9KhD-HBA2cxgb) Check your funding readiness [Service options – Winnovart](https://www.winnovart.com/funding-highlights/eeanorway-grants/eeanorway-grants-news/eeanorway-bilateral-dimension/) [Contact us! \>\>](https://www.winnovart.com/contacts/) ### ARCHIVE [News & Updates 2021](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2021) [News & Updates 2020](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2020) [News & Updates 2019](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2019) [News & Updates 2018](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2018) [News & Updates 2017](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2017) [News & Updates 2016](https://www.winnovart.com/news/archive/2016) [Go to Winnovart Surveys for fundraising intelligence](https://www.winnovart.com/news/tag/surveys) Copyright © 2010 - 2026 Winnovart [Disclaimer](https://www.winnovart.com/about-us/disclaimer)  |  [Privacy Policy](https://www.winnovart.com/privacy-policy2018/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/winnovart/) [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/winnovart) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/winnovart/)
