The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is a new financing instrument with an earmarked budget of €33 billion for infrastructure projects in the energy, transport and telecom sectors. The objective of the CEF programme is to provide financial support to projects which can help fill the missing links in Europe's infrastructure networks. Most of the support from CEF is expected to take the form of grants, which are direct financial contributions from the EU's budget intended to co-finance actions helping to achieve specific EU policy objectives.

INEA invites independent experts in the respective fields to support the evaluation of proposals for grants submitted in response to CEF calls for proposals as well as other activities, for exampling monitoring of funded projects including those of CEF’s predecessor programme.
