BlueActionAA is organising an informational webinar in Spanish to present the funding opportunities currently available through the project’s open calls.
The session will provide an overview of the two active BlueActionAA funding calls:
- Community-Led Pilot Action Call, supporting locally driven initiatives that contribute to the restoration and protection of marine and freshwater ecosystems, the reduction of pollution, and the development of a sustainable, carbon-neutral blue economy.
- Transition Agenda Call, aimed at supporting collaborative processes and territorial agendas that enable regions and communities to advance towards the objectives of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”.
During the webinar, participants will receive practical guidance on the objectives and scope of both calls, eligibility criteria, funding conditions, application procedures and evaluation processes. The session will also introduce the technical support available to applicants through the BlueActionAA project.
The webinar will conclude with an open Q&A session, allowing participants to raise questions about the calls and the application process.
Please note that the webinar will be held in Spanish.
