The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) will present a series of virtual information sessions on the LIFE 2026 Calls for proposals during the EU LIFE 2026 info days from 28 to 30 April. The programme and all useful information can be found here. The Info days also aim to explain how to prepare an application and what makes an excellent proposal.
These live sessions will guide potential applicants through the new Calls for proposals and the priority topics for 2026 under the four LIFE sub-programmes:
- Nature and biodiversity;
- Circular economy and quality of life;
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation;
- Clean energy transition.
