The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has received 258 applications requesting more than EUR 9.5 billion in co-funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). This amount exceeds by almost four times the available budget for the 2024 CEF TRANSPORT calls, for which the application deadline was 21 January 2025. Applicants will be informed about their proposals’ evaluation results in July this year, while the grant agreements for those projects that will be allocated funding are set to be signed by October.
The selected projects will contribute to the modernisation of transport sector in the EU, making mobility throughout the TEN-T network increasingly sustainable, smart and resilient to climate change.
FEPORT is of the opinion that the significant number of applicants and the large sum of requested funding are a clear signal of the CEF Transport’s relevance, showcasing the need to maintain similar programmes in the future.
