4D Award
Digital Rights by Design
The application process to the 4D Call is intentionally quick and easy to encourage participation from anyone who has a project that might be eligible. If the project has possibilities, we will proceed to a detailed interview. In any case, we guarantee a response to each request received.
__GOALS
The goal of the 4D Digital Rights by Design Call is to provide support for the developments or initiatives focused on action in terms of digital commons and rights, such as:
- Technological developments
- Protocols to change institutional and/or general habits
- Strategic litigation
- Legislative amendments and advocacy
Surprise us with other types of solutions we cannot imagine
The central idea is to intervene so that digitalisation is democratic and/or digital rights are applied systemically (possibility of scaling with wide impact), by design and by default, in the public and/or private sphere. We’re looking for technologies, actions and/or action protocols, beyond theoretical research or reports.
__FINANCIAL PROVISION
The 4D Call offers two financial provisions of 15000 euros (*) to implement projects by European entities, consortia or individuals, whether either already running or already partially funded.
_15.000€
_For entities, consortia or individuals in Europe.
90% will be issued at the time of public presentation (October 2025) and the remaining 10% at the time of agreed completion with the recipient individual/entity.
All projects must include licenses which are not strict copyright. Priority will be given to those projects that use free-software and free licences. The use of more restrictive licences is accepted but requires justification.
