Netherlands climate grants
6 open listings, soonest deadline first.
Dutch climate funding is administered largely by RVO, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, which runs the subsidy schemes across energy, industry and the built environment on behalf of several ministries. Public procurement is published through TenderNed, and the water, circular-economy and horticulture programmes are the distinctive strengths. Listed below are the open climate grants in the Netherlands that landscape produces, taken from each publisher's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
Grant funding across western Europe layers national programmes on top of EU instruments, and the two run on different clocks: EU calls (Horizon Europe, LIFE, the Innovation Fund) publish work programmes a year or more ahead, while national schemes open and close on domestic budget cycles. Consortium requirements are common on the European side and rare on the national one, so the same project often needs two quite different applications.
This page lists 6 open climate grants covering the Netherlands, soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, and geographic coverage is read from the notice itself, so a programme open to the Netherlands through a wider European or global scheme appears here too.
A single organisation publishes the calls on this page. Who is behind a call matters as much as what it funds: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls, so it is worth opening a listing before judging the programme.
The work on this page spans Electric Mobility, Regenerative Agriculture, Biodiversity and Nature, Water, Ocean and Blue Economy. Narrowing to one of those is usually a better use of time than reading the whole list, because eligibility tends to follow the sector far more closely than it follows the country.
