The details of some EU funds for the next 7 yrs are still being finalised so check websites. Most of the EU funds open with a “call for proposals” and then have a strict deadline for submission a few months later. 12 -18 months lead time for a big project is not unusual, with a staff resource across different teams of at least 0.5 full time equivalents staff input.

Programmes are still being signed off by EU. Each has focussed down onto a narrower set of priorities that previously, all aim at making a noticeable contribution to the EU2020 strategy (smart, sustainable and inclusive growth). Co-financing rate and size of pot included where known. All of the programmes have online facilities for finding partners/sharing project ideas.

CORDIS is the primary information source for EU-funded projects since 1990
The Projects Service is a one stop shop for information on EU-funded research projects.
It includes all the European Commission's information in the lifecycle of each project: the grant details, funding and participants, the projects' own Report Summaries, multilingual Results in Brief and project Top Stories, and links to scientific publications and other documents.
CORDIS project data includes FP7 List of projects funded by the seventh framework programme, FP6 List of projects funded by the sixth framework programme, FP5 List of projects funded by the fifth framework programme and earlier programmes stretching back to 1990.
The Joint Programming Initiative Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans) is a coordinating and integrating platform, open to all EU Member States and Associated Countries.
While bringing together the interested Member States and Associated Countries JPI Oceans aims to add value by:
avoiding fragmentation and unnecessary duplication planning common and flexible initiatives facilitating cooperation and foresight establishing efficient mechanisms for interaction and knowledge transfer between the scientific community, industry & services, and policy makers at high level in order to solve the grand challenges more effectively Natural England December 2014 In its role as a coordination platform, JPI Oceans will focus on making better and more efficient use of national research budgets, which represent 85% of the marine-maritime funding within Europe. One of JPI’s goals is to develop joint research programs in which countries can be involved on a voluntary basis (variable geometry). Participating countries will also decide what contribution to make: this may include institutional, project-related or new funding. UK contact – Caron Montgomery at Defra.
In its infancy on land, Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) involves managers of environmental assets receiving payment for good management that ensure ecosystem services continue to be provided. It requires a monetary value to be calculated for such services. Marine examples might include payment to protect reef features that play a part in reducing coastal erosion, or sea grass that reduces impacts of tidal surges?
Biodiversity Offsets might also provide an opportunity for funding.
