The results for Collaborative partnerships in the sport field and Not-for-profit European sport events related to the 2015 European Week of Sport were published last week. The projects were submitted to EACEA in January.
Only 5 Collaborative partnerships and 5 Not-for profit events received funding. You can have a look at the results here.
The Sport Chapter in the Erasmus+ Programme aims to support European partnerships on grassroots sport in order to pursue the following objectives:

• Tackle cross-border threats to the integrity of sport, such as doping, match fixing and violence, as well as all kinds of intolerance and discrimination;
• To promote and support good governance in sport and dual careers of athletes;
• To promote voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity, through increased participation in, and equal access to sport for all.
