During the info days, participants will receive detailed information about the four LIFE sub-programmes:
Nature and biodiversity
Circular economy and quality of life
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Clean energy transitionThese sessions are designed to support organisations, companies, public authorities, and research institutions interested in submitting proposals.
The LIFE Programme continues to play a key role in funding innovative projects that contribute to the EU’s environmental and climate objectives, with calls expected to close later in 2026 after the publication in April.
