EU LIFE Info Sessions 2021 

The LIFE programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. Created in 1992, it has co-financed thousands of projects. The new LIFE programme 2021-2027 has a budget of €5.4 billion and is divided into four sub-programmes:

• Nature and biodiversity
• Circular economy and quality of life
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Clean energy transition 

More detailed information on the LIFE programme is available on the LIFE Website.

The LIFE EU Info Sessions 2021 are organised by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).

The LIFE Call for Proposals 2021 was published on 13 July 2021. Recorded presentations by CINEA experts for each topic of the call will provide you with deeper insights.
