On 2 October 2024, CINEA and the European Commission's DG MOVE organised an information session to present the 2024 CEF Transport calls for proposals. A total of €2.5 billion is available for projects to build and modernise European transport infrastructure.
The info day will guide applicants through the priorities of the calls, explain the application and evaluation process, including the award criteria. It will provide tips and share lessons learnt from previous CEF Transport calls on how to prepare and submit a successful proposal.
Participants could ask questions via sli.do using #CEFTransport2024 until 30 September at 17:00 CEST (Brussels time).

Description
The Transport sector of the Connecting Europe Facility is the key EU funding instrument for the completion and modernisation of the trans-European transport network with a focus on the development of the European Transport Corridors. It provides funding to projects of common interest that enhance multimodality, improve resilience of transport infrastructure, and deploy ICT systems for a sustainable, smart and resilient mobility in Europe.
For the period 2021-2027, the CEF Transport budget is €25.8 billion. In total, €21 billion have been allocated to projects for the Trans-European Transport Network in the EU Member States and (since 2023) in the CEF associated countries of Ukraine and Moldova.
Since 2014, CEF has supported over 1 500 projects with €37 billion in the CEF Transport sector.
Background
The calls for proposals is launched for projects under the General and Cohesion budgets of CEF Transport. CINEA is managing the promotion of calls and the evaluation of proposals submitted. Once awarded CEF funding, CINEA prepares the grant agreements with the beneficiaries and supervises the implementation of projects in cooperation with the concerned stakeholders.
