Protection of the Euro Against Counterfeiting (PERICLES IV)

Pays national authorities to run projects, exchanges and training that protect euro banknotes and coins from counterfeiting.

Competent national authorities submit a Standard Application Form (PERI) through the Portal ahead of one of two cut-off dates in 2026. The topic carries an indicative EUR 600,000 2026 budget across both cut-offs, and awards follow a PERI grant agreement covering activities such as training, exchanges and technical projects.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
