All applicants to the Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme's [CEIGS] 2022 funding call have been informed by the Department, on 12 May 2023, as to whether or not they were selected for funding. A formal public announcement of the names of those applicants who have selected for grant funding will be made later this month. All awards of grant funding are conditional on a grant agreement being put in place between the Department and the grantee.
As with the previous funding call, applications in 2022 far exceeded the level of CEIGS funding available. The Department acknowledges the high level of interest that exists in relation to the CEIGS and intends to increase the total amount of funding available for the scheme's 2023 funding call later this year.
