Technical Assistance for ENV Strategic Integrated Project Preparation
Pays for the groundwork behind a future Strategic Integrated Project that would implement a circular economy, waste, water or air plan.
This topic sits under the LIFE programme's Technical Assistance for Preparation of SIPs/SNAPs call, alongside sibling topics for climate preparation work (EUR 200,000) and nature preparation work (EUR 500,000). Applicants submit the LIFE TA PP standard application form through the Funding & Tenders Portal, with a detailed LIFE budget table as a mandatory annex; optional annexes include letters of β¦
The Commission funds technical assistance to prepare a proposal for a Strategic Integrated Project under the Circular Economy and Quality of Life sub-programme β covering a national or regional Circular Economy Action Plan, Waste Management Plan, River Basin Management Plan, Air Quality Plan or Noise Action Plan. It wants preparatory work at a large territorial scale, with all concerned stakeholders involved and a coordination mechanism sketched out for the wider funding the eventual plan will need.
