Summary
The objectives of LIFE Technical Assistance – Replication (TA-R) projects are to facilitate the upscaling or replication of results funded under the LIFE programme or, where relevant to fulfil the objectives of the LIFE programme, under another EU-funded programme.
Detailed Call Description
Only proposals in the field of ‘Environment’ (i.e. ‘Nature and Biodiversity’ and ‘Circular Economy and Quality of Life’) will be eligible for this call.
The TA-R projects could co-finance the activities necessary:
- to prepare the up-scaling and/or replication of the results of previous LIFE projects or of other Union programmes, as long as they contribute to the objectives of the LIFE programme.
- to facilitate the access of an operation contributing to the LIFE objectives to other financial instruments. This support for investment and replication appears strategic in view to supporting the materialization of green investments on the ground.

Consortium composition
TA-R projects are designed to enable upscaling and/or replication of results funded under previous LIFE projects or of other Union programmes, as long as they contribute to the objectives of the LIFE programme.
The former project beneficiary should in principle be the coordinator of the TA-R project. In well justified cases it may participate not as a coordinator, but it should in any case be part of the TA-R project consortium.
