EUIPO har netop lanceret indkaldelsen af forslag til aktiviteter til at fremme bevidstheden om intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder for 2025. Formålet med ordningen er at engagere unge i alderen 14-25 år i hele Europa i at forstå værdien af intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder, farerne ved forfalskning og piratkopiering samt vigtigheden af at respektere og beskytte kreativitet og innovation.
EUIPO skriver selv følgende om ordningen:
What’s new in 2025?
The 2025 edition places a strategic focus on scaling up dissemination efforts across the EU, rather than producing new content. With a total budget of EUR 150 000, the grant will support impactful projects that effectively amplify existing IP-related content using digital tools, modern communication strategies, and youth engagement methods.
Who can apply?
The call is open to non-profit organisations, as well as public and private entities based in the EU, with a proven track record in educational outreach. Eligible projects should incorporate creative and dynamic approaches — such as the use of media, influencers, infotainment, competitions, and collaborative networks — to reach and mobilise young audiences.
The 2025 IP awareness grants aims to:
- Promote awareness of IP as a means of protecting innovation and creativity.
- Encourage ethical digital behaviour and respect for IP-protected content.
- Inspire youth engagement through educational, entrepreneurial, and cultural activities.
- Highlight the real-world consequences of counterfeiting and piracy.
Successful proposals will:
- Engage young creators and consumers through youth-centric channels.
- Leverage and scale existing IP education materials (e.g. EUIPO’s Ideas Powered @ School).
- Combine online/offline strategies, infotainment formats, and practical learning tools.
- Demonstrate sustainability and potential for long-term integration.
Key dates:
- Call launch: 18 July 2025
- Application deadline: 19 September 2025 at 13:00 (CET)
- Evaluation period: October–November 2025
- Grant agreement signatures: November 2025
Applications must be submitted via the EUIPO Grants Portal, where you will find the relevant documents.
An information webinar will be held (date to be confirmed) to present the call in detail and address live questions from applicants.
