EU Funding for Green Transition Projects:

What's available and how to apply?

Are you planning a climate or environmental project and are looking for funding opportunities? Great timing – new EU Calls for Proposals in this field are just opening!

With the EU Green Deal setting an ambitious roadmap for a sustainable Europe, billions of euros in funding are available to support climate, energy and environmental initiatives. This can include projects such as renewable energy development, energy efficiency upgrades, sustainable transport systems, circular economy initiatives, and solutions for biodiversity conservation.

At the same time, navigating the complex funding landscape and preparing a strong funding proposal can be a challenge – especially if you are new on your EU funding journey.

Join this workshop to build the foundation you need to identify and secure the right funding and bring your sustainability project to life.

 

What you’ll gain from this workshop

  • A clear understanding of how the EU Green Deal shapes current funding priorities
  • A concrete outline of the most relevant EU programmes for climate and environment projects (e.g. the LIFE programme, Horizon Europe, EU Structural Funds, and more)
  • Know where to find current and upcoming opportunities
  • Be ready to evaluate your project’s strategic fit and tailor it to meet EU funding requirements
  • Practical guidance to shape your project idea into a compelling proposal
  • Insights how to avoid common pitfalls & tips for success
  • Expect hands-on exercises and built-in time for Q&A

Hello, I’m Astrid,

I’ve been working in EU funding and policy for over 20 years, supporting organisations in securing grants across various fields –  from social inclusion and environmental sustainability to research and innovation.

Through workshops, trainings, and hands-on grant writing support, I’ve helped many small and medium-sized entities – including nonprofits, public bodies, and companies – take their first confident steps into the EU funding landscape, and apply for EU grants.

I’m a committed advocate for sustainability and been working with the EU Green Deal since its early days in 2019.

Drawing on years of hands-on experience, this workshop offers an accessible introduction to EU funding specifically for environmental actors ready to take their work further with the help of EU funding.
