European Cascade Calls, also known as Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), are funding mechanisms introduced by the European Commission to foster innovation and research across Europe. This scheme allows projects funded under larger EU programs (like Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe) to distribute financial support to smaller entities, such as startups, SMEs, and other third parties, through open calls.
