Funding
European Commission Hippokrates Programme
The Hippokrates Programme expired at the end of December 2002 and has been replaced by the AGIS programme on police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The details below are for reference only.
The Hippokrates Programme was adopted by the European Union on 28 June 2001, and aimed to encourage co-operation between Member States in the field of crime prevention. One million Euros (about £600K) were set aside annually for a programme of incentives and exchanges, training and cooperation for the prevention of crime.
The last round of bids for Hippokrates funding closed on 30 April 2002. It was an annual programme and the next round was to have been announced early in 2003. The following web address gives all the information on the last round.

A project could only obtain funding from one Commission programme. Note: these programmes were merged into the AGIS single framework programme as of January 2003.
Projects must involve 3 Member States or 2 Member States and one applicant country. Applicants will be public or private bodies in the Member States of the European Union involved in crime prevention. Private individuals may not submit projects to this programme. Except for specific actions, financing will be to a maximum 70% of the total cost of the project.
