European Trails Funding Projects Workshops
We bring organizations from across Europe together in project groups to finance trail-related projects.
This is your opportunity to become a long-term member of the project group(s) that best fits your thematic focus. Each group will deal with the most important trail management issues. The most important goal is to submit funding applications and implement European projects as a consortium of project partners.
