The European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and the Environment (CINEA) has launched a call for grants under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).

The call for proposals makes EUR 5.12 billion available for projects focused on new upgraded and improved European transport infrastructure.

Application deadline 18.1.2023.

Projects funded under this call will help increase the sustainability of the transport network, putting the EU on track to meet the European Green Deal's targets of reducing transport emissions by 90% by 2050.

The call supports the European Commission's vision of sustainable, smart and resilient mobility. As the transport sector recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the time to further develop sustainable modes of transport and take full advantage of digital technologies.
The EU needs an efficient and interconnected multimodal transport system for passengers and cargo. These include an accessible, reliable and efficient rail network, improved inland navigation and seaport infrastructure, balanced interconnection between different modes of transport and increased automation and interoperability for greater efficiency and safety of the transport network.
An indicative total call budget is available to support infrastructure projects on the core and comprehensive TEN-T network in the following areas:
• railways
• inland waterways
• sea and land ports
• road safety
• railway and road terminals
• multimodal logistics platforms
• multimodal passenger hubs
• smart and interoperable transport applications
• safe and secure mobility
• infrastructure resilience.
You can apply:
• One or more member states
• International organizations or public or private bodies established in an EU member state, with the consent of the respective member state.
Calls

The info day for this call will be held on October 5, 2022.

The CEF transport program is a key EU funding instrument for the development of highly efficient, sustainable and interconnected trans-European transport networks, with a focus on the nine core network corridors. The program co-finances projects that improve multimodality, improve infrastructure and promote innovation and new technologies. The call for submission of project proposals supports projects within the general and cohesion envelope of the CEF Transport program.
