The Wadden Sea Funding Guide features a wealth of funding opportunities to support the collaborative, cross-sectoral trilateral work aligned with the core objectives of the trilateral Wadden Sea World Heritage partnership. It aims to provide professional assistance with the task of navigating through the wide range of programmes and associated sea of documentation of potential relevance to the Trilateral WSWH Partnership. The mapping of the funding guide draws multiple pathways for relevant activities, actions, and funding in different topics and scenarios which are relevant for many sectors. It also provides first hints to help manage the project development complex process. The Funding Guide is an important instrument that will support the Trilateral Partnership activities also beyond the Prowad Link project life-time and within the framework of the EU funding period 2021-2027.
