You want to "green" your production process and innovation activities with EU support ?

During this seminar, you will get further information regarding two EU environment-related programs: LIFE+ and Eco-Innovation, whose next calls for proposals are anticipated in 2012.

These programs are particularly interesting for projects and entities relating to the areas below:

• Waste & natural resources • Environment and Health • Greening businesses
• Climate change • Materials/process recycling • Soil preservation
• Noise, air, water • Food and drink sectors • Chemicals
• Urban environment improvement • Sustainable building products • Innovation

A walk-through on these programs will be provided as well as a testimonial from a current project coordinator in a LIFE+ project. Following the presentations, you will have the possibility to meet EU funding experts, discuss and evaluate your project’s funding opportunities.
