Project overview
Project eHUB4LIFE is a national initiative co-funded by the LIFE Programme, designed to enhance the country’s engagement in the EU LIFE Programme.
As a newly associated member of LIFE, North Macedonia faces challenges such as limited experience, fragmented institutional capacity, and low awareness of LIFE funding opportunities. eHUB4LIFE addresses these challenges by strengthening the knowledge, coordination, and technical expertise of the National Contact Point (NCP) network and by developing the digital platform LIFE MK eHUB.
Through targeted training, outreach activities, stakeholder engagement, and a centralized support system, eHUB4LIFE aims to improve the quality and quantity of LIFE project proposals and increase national contribution to EU environmental and climate objectives.
