EUROLakes_ReplicationCall
  20 October 2025

EUROLakes is based on the 4 Returns Framework for Landscape Restoration (4 Returns) which is a practical methodology designed to find sustainable, long-term solutions at a landscape level. The aim is to achieve four types of return: inspiration, social benefits, restoration of nature and financial gains. Furthermore, the project will demonstrate the long-term potential for replication by enhancing local capacity in other European countries through replication projects in Associated Regions.

EUROLakes is launching a call for Associated Regions to replicate its cutting-edge, nature-based solutions (NBS) for the restoration of European natural lakes. Local and regional authorities across Europe are invited to apply for funding to implement ecological restoration projects inspired by successful models in Italy, Germany and Romania.

The submission deadline is 15 January 2026, 17:00 CET.

Authorities already receiving Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) under topic HORIZON-MISS-2023-OCEAN-01-04 are not eligible.
