Dear Ana, 

the correct usage of B97-3c within CP2K is best described in Perlt, Ray, Hansen, Malberg, Grimme & Kirchner, J. Chem. Phys. 148, 193835 (2018). 
Even though not fully identical with the receipt of Grimme the following section with the standard TZVP basis set is the closest: 

&FORCE EVAL 

	&DFT

		&XC

			&XC FUNCTIONAL

				&BECKE97
					PARAMETRIZATION B97-3c 

					SCALE C 1.0
					SCALE X 1.0

				&END BECKE97

			&END XC FUNCTIONAL 

			&vdW POTENTIAL

				DISPERSION FUNCTIONAL PAIR POTENTIAL 

				&PAIR POTENTIAL

					TYPE DFTD3(BJ)
					PARAMETER FILE NAME dftd3.dat 

					REFERENCE FUNCTIONAL B97-3c

					R CUTOFF 7.93766
					CALCULATE C9 TERM
					SHORT RANGE CORRECTION

				&END PAIR POTENTIAL 

			&END vdW POTENTIAL

		&END XC 

	&END DFT

&END FORCE EVAL 

In conjunction with the MOLOPT basis sets you are using in my group we use DZVP-MOLOPT-SR as default … 

Best, 
Thomas Kühne
