EMFF call for experts

Call for expression of interest for the establishment of a list of experts to assist the Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Executive Agency (CINEA) in relation to direct management actions under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).

Registration as experts

Registration needs to be done exclusively through the European Commission’s Funding & tender opportunities Portal expert database.
