LIFE Technical Assistance project

The Technical Assistance (TA) project covers the preparation of a full application to the LIFE Integrated Project (IP) scheme concerning the implementation of the Air Quality Plan for the Małopolska Region.

The scope of the TA project covers activities aimed at development of the project application and budget for the planned IP. The activities covered by the TA comprise:

1. Revision of lessons learnt from selected projects carried out in the area of air quality, climate change and energy efficiency.
2. Work with the project co-beneficiaries, partners and other stakeholders in order to develop a detailed action plan for LIFE IP.
3. Development of the ToR for high-resolution modelling as an active tool for air quality management in selected municipalities in the Małopolska Region and assessing potential for regional (emissions) modelling under the IP.
4. Development of the detailed concept for an awareness raising campaign in the Małopolska region and networking for trans-boundary cooperation of civil society groups from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
5. Drafting and submission of the full LIFE IP application to the European Commission.
