The LIFE 2026 Call for Proposals will fund projects addressing environmental, climate, and energy challenges across Europe.
The 2026 LIFE Calls for proposals will be published in April. Join the #EULIFE26 info days from 28 to 30 April!
This event is organised by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) to inform and support potential applicants.

The info days will be live-streamed and the questions from the audience will be answered live via slido.com.
