Original title (EN): LIFE-2026-STRAT-NAT-SNAP-two-stage - Strategic Nature Projects
This call is closed. The submission deadline was 3 September 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.
The LIFE instrument for the large-scale implementation of national or regional Prioritised Action Frameworks for Natura 2000, with a leverage effect on other EU and national funds. It does not fund individual works but multi-annual territorial programmes coordinated by a public authority, frequently including agri-environmental measures and water management in farmland within the Natura 2000 network. Budget EUR 75 million for 2026. Two-stage procedure: concept note by 3 September 2026, full proposal by 4 March 2027.
Coordination is typically entrusted to national or regional public authorities responsible for implementing Prioritised Action Frameworks; the partnership includes site managers, NGOs, universities, companies and farms involved in the actions.
Nessun obbligo formale di consorzio transnazionale, ma nella pratica un SNaP è guidato dall'autorità pubblica dello Stato membro in cui si applica il quadro d'azione prioritario. Un'impresa italiana può partecipare come partner attuatore anche in un progetto guidato da un'autorità di un altro Stato membro: è la via realistica di accesso per un fornitore di tecnologie.
Status 'Open', budget and both deadlines (3 September 2026 for the concept note, 4 March 2027 for the full proposal) verified against the official data endpoint on 27 August 2026. The first-stage deadline is imminent. A twin climate strand exists, Strategic Integrated Projects SIP CLIMA (EUR 30 million), with the same two-stage timetable.
Status recalculated. The managing body’s portal listed this scheme as «aperto», but the published deadline says otherwise. In such cases we go by the date.
