Strategic Integrated Projects - Environment

This program provides financial support to a diverse range of entities that are actively engaged in the full implementation of environmental and climate-related plans and strategies. The funding is targeted at initiatives within the European Union, with potential for broader participation, aiming to build strategic capacities and foster long-term sustainability.

This program funds strategic actions that drive the full implementation of environmental plans and strategies, focusing on tangible impacts in circular economy, waste, water, and air quality. Projects are expected to go beyond their direct lifetime, establishing mechanisms for enduring positive change and involving key stakeholders in their design and execution.

The program provides financial support in the form of grants, with a significant budget allocation for the environment component. While specific per-project funding limits are not detailed, the structure implies support for large-scale, long-term initiatives delivered through a phased approach.

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions regarding admissibility, eligibility, financial and operational capacity, and grant legal/financial setups, as detailed in the comprehensive call document and associated guides. A collaborative approach is strongly encouraged, often requiring consortia.

The application process is a two-stage submission, requiring initial concept notes followed by full proposals. Detailed guidance, including forms and timelines, is provided through official EU portals and documents.
