Call for Proposals Description Submitted by Deadline
Development of software models for predicting environmental concentrations of plant protection products in soil (CFT/EFSA/PRAS/2012/03) The objective of this tender procedure is to develop a single software tool for calculating the predicted environmental concentrations of substances and their transformation products in soil in support of an EFSA Guidance Document for predicting environmental concentrations of PPPs in soil. The software tool will be based on an analytical model for which both the concepts and the mathematical equations are described in the Opinion containing the science for scenario selection and scenario parameterisation for predicting environmental concentrations of plant protection products in soil EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) 18/06/2012
2012 call for proposals under the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE+) Regulation The sixth LIFE+ call for proposals was published in the Official Journal (2012/C 74/08) on 13 March 2012.

Under the Environment Policy & Governance component and for the policy area 'Soil', the Commission invites: demonstration activities at regional, provincial or municipal level to limit, mitigate or compensate for soil sealing; expanding the knowledge base concerning soil degradation processes; and developing and implementing land use practices and techniques, particularly in farming and forestry production processes, which protect and improve the status of soil.
Under the Information and Communication component, the Commission invites communication actions and awareness raising campaigns to, inter alia, increase the awareness and knowledge about the importance of soil and soil biodiversity and its many ecological functions, and sustainable land use.

LIFE+ Nature & Biodiversity: The Nature & Biodiversity component continues and extends the former LIFE-Nature programme. It will co-finance best practice or demonstration projects that contribute to the implementation of the Birds and Habitats Directives. In addition it will co-finance innovative or demonstration projects that contribute to the implementation of the objectives of Commission Communication (COM (2011) 244 final) "Our life insurance, our natural capital: an EU biodiversity strategy to 2020". At least 50% of the LIFE+ budget for project co-financing must be dedicated to LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity projects.

LIFE+ Environment Policy & Governance . The Environment Policy & Governance component continues and extends the former LIFE-Environment strand. It will co-finance projects that contribute to the implementation of EU environmental policy, the development of innovative policy approaches, technologies, methods and instruments, the knowledge base as regards environment policy and legislation, and the monitoring of environmental pressures (including the long-term monitoring of forests and environmental interactions).

LIFE+ Information & Communication : This component will co-finance projects that implement communication and awareness raising campaigns on environmental, nature protection or biodiversity conservation issues, as well as projects related to forest fire prevention (awareness raising, special training).
LIFE+ (2007-2013) Programme 26/09/2012
