Organisation

The European Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Executive Agency (CINEA) has been established by the European Commission to support the European Commission to boost green growth and clean industry in Europe through high-quality programme management that supports European beneficiaries to achieve ground-breaking results for a cleaner and more sustainable future. CINEA manages EU funding for projects in the areas of transport, energy, climate action, environment, maritime, fisheries and aquaculture.

CINEA is based in Brussels with a multinational team of 600 persons.
