The European Open Rivers Programme is pleased to announce a new call for dam removal applications (Categories A and B) from 12:00 pm CET on 29th October to 12:00 pm CET on 29th November 2024. The Programme now requires only one application for all grants, and you can apply via the online portal.

This funding opportunity is ideal for projects dedicated to revitalising Europe’s river ecosystems by removing obsolete river barriers. These efforts align with the Programme’s mission to restore endangered European rivers by supporting interventions that lead to the removal of small dams and the restoration of river flow and biodiversity.

To support applicants in navigating the process, the Programme is hosting a Q&A webinar on 7th November 2024, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. This webinar is a valuable opportunity to ask questions directly and gain key insights from our expert team. Spots are limited, so we encourage you to register early to secure your place. Register here.
