Specification of EU programme (as sponsor of the project), contractor type and contractor country enables a quick access to the projects of interest. A map-based search allows you to select a specific (EU) country, and region within that country, as the origin of the first contractor
The site also contains news on EU programmes, the possibility to search by EU programme, etc. (less relevant for identifying heat pump projects)
