LIFE Other Action Grants (PLP)

Note

In the bulletin this call is placed under the clean energy section, but formally it belongs to PLP and is submitted under the LIFE-2026-PLP call document. This is why the deadline is 22 September, not the 16th.

About the call

EU ecodesign and energy labelling requirements only work when they are complied with by suppliers and retail chains, and compliance takes resources - especially for small businesses.

• Self-assessment compliance tools.
• Advisory support (help desk).

• Work with the EPREL database (European Product Registry for Energy Labelling).
• Cooperation with national market surveillance authorities.

Conditions

• Consortium: at least 3 applicants (beneficiaries, not affiliated entities) from 3 different eligible countries.
