The BLUEfasma Capacity Building Instrument, created through Interreg MED BLUEfasma project, is now available online. This tool systematizes, in one place, the existing financing programmes and funds, as well as the available opportunities for projects’ funding. The particular focus areas of this tool are blue Circular Economy (CE) and research and innovation business investment in the key blue growth of fishing and aquaculture.
The BLUEfasma Capacity Building Instrument consists of two databases – one for the available financing programmes and funds and one for the available calls for projects’ funding.
