CAKE at CEE InterLIFE Platform Meeting, Hungary

On the 24-26.03.2025 we had the pleasure to participate in the Central and Eastern Europe InterLIFE Platform Meeting which took place in Balmazújváros, Hungary organised by Hortobágy Environmental Association (Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park Igazgatóság).

During the meeting our CAKE experts Marta Rosłaniec and Aneta Tylka presented our experiences in the implementation of the LIFE Projects that are already completed LIFEClimateCAKEPL & LIFEVIIEW2050, as well as our new LIFE ENSPIRE project. The workshop focused on the different experiences in CEE countries regarding the number of applications and implementation of LIFE Projects in our region countries, i.e. Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, Romania, Croatia.

On the first day of the conference Marta Rosłaniec presented our CAKE knowledge and achievements from the perspective of CAKE/KOBIZE/IOSPIB as the beneficiary of the LIFE projects.

It was also a great opportunity to present our new LIFE ENSPIRE project -“Exploring New Scenarios for the Progressive Integration of Neighbouring States into the EU ETS beyond 2050” to wider audience and other LIFE projects participants . At the Project Expo and Fair we met a lot of other very interesting and important nature and climate related LIFE Projects, and it was a great opportunity to network with them.

The LIFE ENSPIRE project aims to assess the potential impacts of the evolving European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on the EU and selected neighbouring countries.

On the second day of the conference, the working group discussions focused on different aspects of the projects management – we participated in the financial and climate related groups. We presented our LIFE ENSPIRE project and it was a great possibility to echxange views and ideas with the representatives from CINEA – European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency and ELMEN EEIG. 

It was a great great presentations and networking discussion on LIFE!
