To be eligible for funding, your project must have focus on one of the three following topics:
- Greening Cities: to experiment and deliver tangible innovative solutions on green infrastructure to better address biodiversity, pollution, resource and climate challenges.
- Sustainable Tourism: to support long-term green and digital transformation and resilience of the tourism ecosystem.
- Leveraging talent in shrinking cities: particularly in regions identified by the European Commission in the Communication ‘Harnessing talent in Europe’s regions’, to retain and attract talent.
