Themes of Life+ cover all fields of EU environmental policy 50% Not very succesful Most interesting?

-Duration 2-5 years (average 4a) -2-6 beneficiaries (1 enough!) -The coordinating beneficiary is often from public sector (cities, municipalities, universities, regional env’l centres, private companies…) -COM pays 50% (in some exceptions higher) -Transnationality is not necessary -Not much bureaucracy (compared to some other EU fundings),flexibility (COM asks for corrections) -High success rate (1/3 !) Typical Life+ project

Progress since the start of LIFE+ More Money! More projects! Better Chances!

Euroopa Komisjon LIFE+ Infoseminar 2011 Euroopa Komisjon avab veebruaris 2011 viienda taotlusvooru LIFE+ programmi raames, kus on võimalik kolme teema all kuni 265,36 miljoni euro suurust kaasfinantseeringut taotleda: loodus ja mitmekesisus, keskkonnapoliitika ja valitsemine ning info ja kommunikatsioon. Euroopa Komisjon koostöös Stella Consulting’u ja MWH’ga organiseerib Eestis LIFE+ programmi infoseminari. Seminari eesmärk on anda aasta taotlusvooru potentsiaalsetele taotlejatele ülevaade LIFE+ programmist, aidata otsustada, kas esitada LIFE+ taotlus või mitte ning aidata vältida levinumaid probleeme taotluse esitamisel. Seminar toimub 16. märtsil 2011 Keskkonnaministeeriumis, Tallinnas Lisainfot leiab ka LIFE kodulehelt: Life Suomen informaatioseminaari järjestetään SYKE:ssä klo Tilaisuudessa jaetaan tietoa 4.5. avautuvasta Life hakukierroksesta ja kerrotaan hakemuksen vaatimusten täyttämisestä ja hyvän hakemuksen tekemisestä.

What makes a good proposal? Has a logical link between the environmental problem, its objectives, actions and expected results Properly targeted environmental problem Actions are well described and quantified Project has been well thought, taking in buffer times and tackling all likely constraints Well described existing situation - including local policy framework if relevant

What makes a good proposal? Proposal has been discussed with relevant stakeholders Realistic planning If previous similar LIFE projects exist, a description of how the proposed project has taken the findings of the previous projects into account Costs are properly justified and allocated Proper quantification of the results and the environmental impact

Thanks for your attention - hope to see you in Helsinki!
