Inland waterways and ports – studies, works or mixed

This program targets public and private entities involved in the development of inland waterway and port infrastructure across the European Union, specifically focusing on the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Its primary objective is to foster sustainable and smart mobility, support climate goals, and enhance the overall resilience of the European transport sector.

This program funds studies and works that advance inland waterway and port infrastructure on the TEN-T network. Eligible activities include improvements to waterways, port access, and the integration of green energy solutions, while certain activities like road access within ports or vessel retrofitting are excluded.

This program provides financial support in the form of grants for studies and works aimed at enhancing inland waterway and port infrastructure. The overall call has a significant budget, with a dedicated allocation for this specific topic.

Applicants must meet specific admissibility, eligibility, and capacity criteria. The program emphasizes non-discriminatory access to funded facilities and imposes limitations on the inclusion of synergetic elements and comprehensive network components within core network projects.

The application process for this program involves submitting proposals through a dedicated online system. The evaluation has already commenced, with results expected in July 2025.

This funding program is established and governed by key European Union regulations and policies focused on transport infrastructure and financial management.
