The Culture 2007 programme has been formally adopted by the EU. The likely timetable for the 2007 Call for Culture projects looks as follows: Informal announcement of final criteria in October 2006 - Formal announcement of final criteria in February 2007 - Deadline for the submission of projects: April 2007. It appears there will be little difference between the informal and formal announcement. Interested applicants should therefore begin to develop their projects (if you haven’t already started) immediately after the October announcement, so they are well prepared when the formal announcement is made in February 07. Detailed information on the likely criteria including well-structured background information may be found on the [http://www.culture2007.info/] UK's culture contact point site and on the [http://ec.europa.eu/culture/eac/index_en.html]EU website.
