Eco-innovative Programme Opens for Applications (UK)

The European Commission has announced that its Eco-innovative programme is open for applications.  Through the programme € 34.8 Million of grants are available for green projects.  This call is open to all legal persons that are based in eligible countries but the priority will be given to Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Clusters of applicants and projects which demonstrate a European added value and have a high potential for market replication are strongly encouraged. 

Calls support Eco-innovative projects in different sectors which aim at the prevention or reduction of environmental impacts or which contribute to the optimal use of resources.  In particular the European Commission is looking to support projects in the areas of Materials Recycling; Sustainable Building Products; Food and Drink Sector; Water; and Greening businesses.  Under this call for proposals the European Commission will fund up to 50% of eligible project costs.
The closing date for applications is the 6th September 2012.
