You must co-fund 50%.

Deadline: annual_call — Runs in competitive rounds rather than continuously. Rounds have historically opened once or twice a year and closed quickly once the funding pool is committed.
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Major bid — written case, budget, possibly partners.
You fund 50% yourself.
