The LIFE 2025 calls, European initiatives funding projects for environmental protection, biodiversity, climate action, circular economy support, and clean energy transition, will soon be published. This announcement comes from the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), which has managed the LIFE programme since 1992. European Funds: What to Expect from the LIFE Programme in 2025

The expected date for the publication of the LIFE 2025 calls on the Funding & Tenders portal is April 24, 2025. This will be followed by Info Days organized by CINEA, focusing on this year's calls.

The LIFE 2021-2027 programme, the EU's main tool for supporting the transition to a more sustainable, circular, energy-efficient economy based on renewable energy and resilient to climate change, enters its second multiannual implementation phase this year. This phase will be guided by the 2025-2027 work programme, which is still pending publication. The 2025 calls are the first under the new work programme soon to be released.

How the LIFE Programme Works

The LIFE programme, established in 1992, is the EU's primary funding instrument for the environment and climate action. It supports innovative projects that contribute to ecological transition, environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and sustainable resource use.
