Project Concept Note and Proposal Support
A new LIFE+ concept note has been introduced for the 2013 call to allow applicants to receive additional, tailored support from not just Beta Technology but National Authorities. The concept note is much simpler than for previous calls and will be used to provide a general overview of the project.
The deadline for submitting completed LIFE+ project concept note has now passed so if you did not submit to this deadline you will only be guaranteed access to a basic support service of the email helpline.
The deadline s is the 22nd February 2013 and if you have any questions, please contact Catherine Holt or Jane Watkins.
