What is a matchmaking event?
The matchmaking event seeks to offer opportunities for Latvian and Donor countries’ entities to come together, share experience, discuss initial ideas for collaboration to eventually shape them into concrete joint project proposals to be submitted under the ACF regular open calls. The participants may also use this opportunity to discuss possibilities to organize bilateral cooperation initiatives under the Fund for Bilateral Relations, such as partner search visits, matchmaking events, thematic meetings, or seminars.
Target group
Representatives from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway interested in developing joint projects with Latvian entities are invited to join the online matchmaking event. The main target group for this event are entities in Latvia and Donor states interested in cooperation in democracy, civic awareness, or human rights.
