Funding

What measures are eligible for funding?

Funding is provided for projects that focus on environmental protection. Current priority topics for which measures can be implemented are:

  • Chemical policy
  • Sustainable economy (including circular economy and sustainable finance),
  • Water protection and water resilience
  • Participation processes and youth exchanges.

 

In individual cases, projects in areas such as immission control, air pollution control, water management, marine conservation, soil conservation et al. can also be funded.

Activities to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as projects that address overarching issues of environmental policy (e.g. gender equality, digitalisation) may be supported as well.

Please note that EURENI projects should focus on environmental protection. Measures that are primarily aimed at climate protection, i.e. greenhouse gas emission reduction or decarbonisation, are not funded under EURENI.
