As part of the first edition of the “Szychta” support programme, 88 applications for support were received. Our individual evaluation consisted in assigning points according to each of the projects with the announced regulations. It was agreed that the 5 highest rated applications from each area would be co-financed. A total of 20 applications were selected for funding. Due to the fact that only 4 applications were submitted in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development (1 of them received 0 points), and only 5 applications in the field of support for people at risk of social exclusion received 60% of all points, it was decided that the limit of applications will be extended to 3 applications in the field of security. The decision stemmed from the fact that this field received the biggest number of applications and the highest scores.
