From 6 to 9 May 2024, the Hungarian Delegation of the National Contact Points (NCPs) of the LIFE Programme visited various institutions in Spain to learn about how this country is organised in relation to the management of the LIFE programme.

During the visit, various infrastructures, initiatives and projects in the framework of the conventional LIFE sub-programmes, as well as the new LIFE – Clean Energy Transition programme, were shown.

Of particular interest for the Hungarian Delegation are the projects related to the New European Bauhaus (NEB). Due to the close relationship between this new trend and the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN project, the latter was presented during the meeting organised by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE) on 7 May at its headquarters. IDAE belongs to the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO).

Miguel Vega, General Coordinator of the project, was in charge of the virtual presentation of the work carried out by LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN, the results obtained, the importance of the After-LIFE plan, as well as several tips on how to manage a project of this kind in a transnational context. The members of the Hungarian Delegation were particularly interested in how the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN team approached the search and establishment of contacts and new allies with local, regional and national public administrations to facilitate the transferability of the Nature-Based Solutions designed and tested by the project. More information on the governance tools used by this LIFE project can be found in the deliverables of LIFE-myBUILIDNGisGREEN action C4.
