European Invasive Alien Species Rapid-Response Fund

IUCN Save Our Species, with funding from the European Union, is pleased to launch a new call for proposals under the European Invasive Alien Species Rapid-Response Fund. This initiative supports urgent conservation actions that focus on the early detection and rapid eradication of invasive alien species in Europe. Grants ranging from €10,000 to €50,000 are available for projects of up to 12 months.

The call is open to organisations operating in the European Union, EU overseas countries and territories are not eligible, except for the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira.

Deadline: Wednesday, 10 February 2027 at 14:00 CEST

About the call for proposals

When IUCN Save Our Species awards a grant to an organisation, it is the beginning of a special relationship. We provide support to our grantees throughout the entirety of our shared journey, while adding value along the way by sharing the projects’ impacts and the lessons learned.
