SMURF’s first cascade funding for small forest owners’ organisations
SMURF’s first cascade funding for small forest owners’ organisations
SMURF EU Horizon project is providing up to 200,000 EUR in funding for associations, federations, confederations, consortiums or cooperatives of small forest owners to develop various activities.
We want to incorporate your “real-life” expertise and your vision of the future of European forest holdings in our project because we believe it will significantly contribute to the success of your properties. Your involvement will contribute to an important topic for all of us.
Organisations may apply to one or both calls and we believe it could be a valuable opportunity to be part of a network of forward-thinking forest owners and managers, contributing to an important topic for all of us.
Call for applications open from 2 September, 8:00 CET, until 30 October 2024, 17:00 CET.
Summary of SMURF’s first call
This 1st call for Cascade Funding aims to enhance the participation of organisations of small forest owners in the activities of the SMURF project to get accurate and on-the-ground information about:
- forest ownership
- management practices
- forest types
- business opportunities and challenges
- legal regime
- resources and support systems
of the small forest holdings across Europe. The call will try to fund 40 organizations facilitating knowledge-exchange and enabling lasting institutional networking.
