Calls: Transport infrastructure
On 19 May the European Commission launched three new calls for proposals, making an additional EUR172 million of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) budget available to finance transport infrastructure projects. Funding opportunities are based upon the TEN-T annual and multi-annual programmes and will reflect key projects of European added value in the fields of:
* Motorways of the Sea (alternative freight routes) (EUR85 million);
* River information services and inland waterway traffic management (EUR10 million);
* Promoting the development of an integrated and environmentally friendly transport system (EUR30 million);
* Studies and works accelerating the implementation of TEN-T projects notably in the rail and inland waterways sectors, as well as projects supporting the Single European Sky policy (up to EUR40 million);
* Studies to support public-private partnerships (PPPs) (up to EUR7 million).
Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their relevance to TEN-T priorities and policy objectives, and their socio-economic and environmental impact.
Deadline: 31 August
