Impact Funding Resources
INSPIRE aims to boost the deployment of technology and actions for detection, collection and prevention (DCP concept) of litter, including macro- and microplastics, in European rivers. For that, INSPIRE is seeking to select proposals from local and regional authorities from Associated Regions (AR) and manage the Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) for scaling up, replication and exploitation of the lessons learnt from the project use cases. Apply for this Open Call, and team-up with INSPIRE partners implementing 20 technologies and actions and become one of the early adopters of an INSPIRE solution deployment, replication and exploitation in your region. If granted, the insights gained from your own project will be integrated in the modular Master Plan of INSPIRE. Consult the INSPIRE website (https://inspire-europe.org) for all available technologies and actions.
