Webinar: Introduction to the Wadden Sea Funding Guide

Finding and acquiring funding for projects can be a tedious process. A new systematic analysis now gives a comprehensive overview of third-party funding opportunities specifically for projects in connection with the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage. The “Wadden Sea Funding Guide” is intended to support the broad range of organisations and stakeholders participating in the trilateral Partnership in support of the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage in making use of national and international funding opportunities.

To make these opportunities more broadly known, we invite everybody who is interested in future projects and activities on Wadden Sea protection and fostering sustainability in the Wadden Sea region, to attend the

In this 40-minute webinar, held on 23 June 2022, Dr Angelo Gilles (REM Consult) and Dr Cormac Walsh (Dr Cormac Walsh Research and Consult) offer insights on the funding landscape by providing a comprehensive and concise overview on funding opportunities relevant to the transboundary context of the Wadden Sea World Heritage and its diverse range of stakeholders. The webinar covers potential funding by EU programmes, amongst others the Interreg programmes, Horizon, Life, and Erasmus, and informs about national and sub-national programmes and private funds.

The funding guide and the webinar have been developed by REM Consult in cooperation with Dr Cormac Walsh within the framework of the Interreg project PROWAD Link, commissioned by the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park Authority and with support of the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat.

The Interreg VB project "PROWAD Link: Protect and Prosper: Benefits through linking sustainable growth with nature protection” aims to unlock the potential of natural areas as a driver for jobs and sustainable development in the pilot regions of the Wadden Sea (DK, D, NL), Geiranger Fjord (NO), Wash & North Norfolk Coast (UK). The project is co-funded by and carried out in the framework of the Interreg North Sea Region Programme under the Programme Priority 1 “Thinking Growth”. The programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Union.
