The EU LIFE Programme has launched its 2025 Call for Proposals. If you’ve got an idea for conserving nature, protecting the environment, taking climate action or transitioning Europe to clean energy, your project could be in for a share of the €600 million just announced for 2025, €73 million of which being allocated for circular economy and quality of life projects. 

Visit the LIFE Calls for Proposals 2025 page to find everything you need for your project application, as well as a list of sub-programmes and indicative budgets to help you decide which would be best suited for your project. From 13 to 15 May there will be virtual #EULife25 Info Days, where experts will guide you through the process and share tips for completing a successful application.

You can also take inspiration from thousands of successful past and present initiatives across Europe listed in the LIFE project database, take a look at what LIFE is up to in your country or get expert help from your LIFE National Contact Point (NCP).

There are many different types of grants and most of the submission deadlines are in September 2025. Guidance on the application process, evaluation and grant signature, and working as an expert are available on the Funding & Tender portal.
