The 2022 Clean Energy Transition Call for Proposals is open until 16 November 2022!
This sub-programme aims at facilitating the transition toward an energy-efficient, renewable energy-based, climate-neutral and -resilient economy by funding coordination and support actions across Europe.
Types of actions supported under CET are Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) for projects focusing on the transition to renewable energy and increased energy efficiency by breaking market barriers, through activities including capacity building, dissemination of information and knowledge, and awareness raising.
LIFE Clean Energy Transition supports all selected projects under the Call 2022 with 95% of their project costs.
The submission deadline is 16 November 2022.
The Clean Energy Transition Call 2022 has 18 funding topics covering important aspects of driving forward the clean energy transition in Europe in all areas of life such as
- boosting energy communities and the engagement of citizens in the transition;
