The EU contribution is 80% of the project’s total eligible costs and the project’s national co-financing is 20% of the total eligible costs.
For the 2nd Targeted Call for Strategic Project Proposal, the project proposal shall be submitted under the Specific Objective RSO 2.6 “Promoting the transition to a circular and resource efficient economy” and under the title “Circular Economy Park”.
In this context, the present Call intends to support cross-border cooperation to promote concrete solutions in the field of prevention, minimisation, sorting, reuse and recycling waste management in the programme area.
The specific Strategic Project foreseen in the Programme Document, under the title “Circular Economy Park”, aims at the development and implementation of solutions for the promotion of circular economy in the cross-border area.
