The LIFE programme published a call for co-financing traditional, integrated, preparatory and technical assistance projects for 2018. This year, they will invest close to €400 million in nature conservation, environmental protection and climate action. The novelty of this year’s call is a two-stage application of traditional projects in the LIFE sub-programme for Environment.

If you have a project idea in the field of nature conservation, environmental protection or climate action, and want to obtain a LIFE grant, the next step is to read the documents from the application packages, especially Guidelines for applicants and Guide for evaluation). Application packages are published on the LIFE website.
