TEN-T Calls: Deadline extended, more funding available for TEN-T projects - Main contents

Organisations wishing to take advantage of Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) funding now have some extra time - and extra budget - to do so. Thanks to more money becoming available under the 2013 TEN-T Work Programme, an additional €332 million has been added to the 2012 TEN-T multi-annual programme, under the area of TEN-T Priority Projects. Deadline for proposal submissions has now been extended to 26 March 2013 for all 6 fields of the multi-annual work programme. Please note that the deadline for proposal submissions for the 2012 TEN-T annual programme still remains the same: 28 February 2013.

The Calls were launched 28 November 2012. As a reminder, the 2012 multi-annual call focuses on six fields with now €1.347 billion of total indicative budget available:

• - 

  The 30 TEN-T Priority Projects: indicative budget now €1.057 billion (increased from €725 million)
• - 

  European Rail Traffic Management Systems (ERTMS), enabling interoperability on the European rail network: indicative budget €100 million

The annual programme complements the multi-annual programme and directs funding to four distinct priorities with a total indicative budget of €250 million and a deadline that remains on 28 February 2013:

• - 

  Acceleration/facilitation of the implementation of TEN-T projects (studies and works for mature projects for all modes, as part of the projects of common interest): indicative budget €150 million
