The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has today announced an extension to the closing date of the €25 million Call for Proposals for a European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on the theme of Breeding Waders. The Call will now close at 5pm Tuesday 30 January 2024.
The key objectives of this EIP project will be to secure existing wader populations, which include Curlew, Dunlin, Lapwing, and Golden Plover, among others, at key sites and to support population recovery via wider landscape management and policy development. All populations are in unfavourable conservation status, and some are threatened with national extinction as breeding birds.
Further information on the European Innovation Partnership initiative and the guidelines for this call for proposals can be accessed on the department website at European Innovation Partnership Scheme or by contacting breedingwaderseip@agriculture.gov.ie
