Application procedure

Projects are generally selected within the framework of a competition call. The selection criteria are attached to the respective call. The projects must be submitted to the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Funding Institute via the responsible legal supervisory authority.

The highest building supervisory authority is responsible for the technical aspects.

For the submission of a project, the municipalities select projects from the entirety of potentially feasible projects for their municipality to implement their integrated urban development concept. If several projects are proposed, the municipality determines a ranking order.
The applications for the projects must be accompanied by documentation of the project selection at municipal level.

The responsible ministry informs the municipality about the decision on project selection at state level and, in the event of a positive vote, invites it to submit a qualified funding application to the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Funding Institute.

The projects are generally selected as part of a competition.

• As part of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the state of M-V has funds available for the promotion of integrated sustainable urban development.
• The funding is awarded in a two-stage process based on applications from the cities.
• In the first stage, 23 regional and medium-sized towns were included in the ERDF funding program in 2015 and 2016 on the basis of a call for concepts from the state and integrated urban development concepts submitted accordingly.
• In the second stage, projects are selected by a selection committee following calls for competition by the Ministry of Energy, Infrastructure and Digitalization.
