On 4 and 5 July 2023, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) organised jointly with the Directorate-General Climate Action (DG CLIMA) a two-day event to help applicants submit a successful application for the third small-scale call. To achieve this goal, CINEA proposed a twofold approach:
On the morning of 4 July, an online event where CINEA, DG CLIMA and a couple of successful small-scale projects from previous calls provided valuable tips on successfully preparing an application for the Innovation Fund. Participants learned about the main challenges, most common mistakes and how to avoid them, with opportunity for questions and answers (Q&A) using slido.
On the afternoon of 4 July and on the morning of 5 July, CINEA and DG CLIMA hosted online orientation sessions. Selected projects had the opportunity to present their project idea at a public event and ask questions to CINEA and DG CLIMA representatives. As announced during the event, a list of FAQs from the orientation sessions is now available here below:
