Technical Assistance for Strategic Nature Project Preparation
Pays for the groundwork behind a future Strategic Nature Project that would implement a national restoration or biodiversity plan.
This topic sits under the LIFE programme's Technical Assistance for Preparation of SIPs/SNAPs call, alongside sibling topics for environmental preparation work (EUR 300,000) and climate preparation work (EUR 200,000). 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 lett…
