Projects will be judged on their ability to strengthen identity and/or cultural heritage between the two countries, as well as generate knowledge about this heritage and/or its impact. The effects of the project on the locality where it will be implemented will also be taken into account, such as interaction with the community, the availability of cultural activities and the stimulation of science and education.  Above all, the project's ability to guarantee the conservation and sustainable use of this heritage will be assessed. The project must cover one or more of the following three topics:

• Interaction with the living environment;
• Impact of the Dutch presence in the country (colonial period or more recent)
• Heritage (material or immaterial) built on Dutch influence

This call for proposals is open to all projects within the above-mentioned topics, with a special interest in the Built Environment theme.
