Full project and budget information to

https://projects-foundation.alstom.com/en/
You must identify a Alstom member of
staff to promote your application - see details below:
All projects must be submitted by an
NGO together with an Alstom employee acting in the role of the Project
Promoter.
The Promoter will work with the NGO to
prepare the project file and will validate the file prior to its submission.
If the project is selected, the Promoter will assist the Secretariat in
monitoring its implementation.
Each Alstom employee is allowed to
support one project submission only per year.
If you have a good project to submit
but don't know anyone from Alstom, the Secretariat of the Alstom Foundation
may be able to help you identify someone willing to Play the promoter role in
support of your project. But finding such a Promoter takes time. Accordingly,
the deadline for receipt by the Secretariat of requests to find an Alstom
Promoter is fixed at 3 April 2023. No such requests will be considered after
this date.
Furthermore, the Secretariat does not
guarantee to find a Promoter for each submission. Promoters are volunteers
who will only step forward if a project concept interests them.
