OLAMUR open call for Associated Regions
ClosedDescription
The OLAMUR project launches a call for Associated Regions to participate in the project where we aim at supporting 5 Associated Regions, considering the maximum financial support of EUR 100 000 each. We will provide the selected Associated Regions with technical assistance to develop roadmaps and plans for low-impact marine aquaculture and multi-purpose use of marine space addressing possible barriers and showing the feasibility of implementing innovative solutions in the region. The Associated Regions will be able to follow the OLAMUR project and its demonstration activities and the OLAMUR partners will proactively reach out to the associated regions to enable them to follow closely the project and its demonstration activities. The types of activities that can receive financial support are marine spatial planning, low-trophic aquaculture in wind farms, robotics, governance, or carbon-neutral aquaculture. Successful applicants will work closely with correspondent OLAMUR partners to implement this project. We are targeting local and/or regional authorities from an associated region. Eligible applicants are local and/or regional organisations (public bodies) from EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries other than those that are part of the OLAMUR consortium which are: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Belgium, Italy.
