HOW THE CIP WORKS?
The three sub-programmes:
– collaborate but they are independent;
– are managed by different Commission Departments (DGs);
– have an independent management committee that consists of
representatives of all the participating countries;
– annual priorities and actions are describe in the respective work
programme;
– publish their calls for tenders and calls for proposal in the CIP
Portal.
