Information & Communication LIFE Projects 2008

The European Commission has approved funding for 17 new information and communication projects in 12 countries under the LIFE+ programme’s Information & Communications component for 2008. These projects will either raise the profile of environmental issues, or provide training and awareness-raising for the prevention of forest fires. The projects are led by ‘beneficiaries’, or project promoters, based in Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom. They represent a total investment of €21 million, of which the EU will provide some €10 million.
