Effective bioeconomy policies and strategies are developed and implemented with specific impact targets in mind;policies and action plans and roadmaps are coordinated across parts of government (e.g. Ministries) and across the quadruple helix (government, sectors, research & innovation, society) to take into account the cross-sectoral and place-based character of the bioeconomy, and the need for a whole of government approach. Platforms are established to facilitate dialogue, experimentation, learning and coordination;all actors of the quadruple helix (e.g. policy makers, NGOs, economic sectors) are aware of the bioeconomy, as well as of the potential and challenges that are specific for their...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:European textiles manufacturers have access to novel technologies for fibre-to-fibre recycling of post-consumer textile waste;local authorities and consumers benefit from resource- and cost-efficient waste management of post-consumer blended textiles;European recyclers are equipped with properly characterised mixed post-consumer textile waste. Scope:The topic aims at improved management of the end-of-life phase of textile products. Textiles are the fourth highest-pressure category for the use of primary raw materials and water and fifth for GHG emissions and a major source of microplastic pollution in production and use phases. They are also a key material and product stream in the circular economy action plan. Proposals are expected to demonstrate and deploy innovative solutions for inc...

Scope:Droughts in the EU are increasing in frequency, magnitude and impact, and the affected area is expanding. Water storage systems can limit abstractions from surface waters a...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:local/regional authorities and their operators adopt optimised collection and sorting systems of municipal waste that prioritise textile reuse and repair;social economy entities and society at large benefit from favourable conditions for reuse and repair practices which enable product lifetime prolongation and stimulate second-hand markets;citizens have access to better information, leading to greater awareness and public acceptance, and stimulating behavioural change towards sustainable consumption;innovative circular textile methodologies, practices and solutions are made available to enable large-scale replication and upscaling in European cities and regions;businesses are stimulated to advance repair strategies and circular business models while creating new jobs. Scope:This topic su...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:higher and more robust industrial European competitiveness, decarbonisation and strategic autonomy, advancing the lead market for bio-based industry;improved environmental sustainability, with positive impact on climate, pollution and biodiversity, via the standardization of the bio-based sector and products. Scope:Proposals should address the following activities:aiming at overall high sustainability and environmental benefits, and considering the economic feasibility, for high quality of final products, select a bio-based sector/industry[1] to develop or improve knowledge, technology, product, process, service or solution related to Ecodesign applicable to the chosen sector;identify specific gaps in standardization research pipeline, for bio-based products, followed by pre-normative R&...

Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:environment and society at large benefit from recyclable food packaging which can be recycled and reused back into food packaging while keeping the quality, value and extending the material lifetime;industrial value chains including primary and secondary raw material producers, polymer suppliers, additives suppliers, converters, brand owners and retailers (SMEs and large companies), agri-food suppliers, waste managers and recyclers introduce sustainable food packaging on the market through enhanced design for recycling and solutions for effective sorting and recycling on an industrial scale, in line with the safe-and-sustainable-by-design principles[1];consumers and civil society are sufficiently informed about appropriate ways of disposal of used food packaging to enable its circularit...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:impacts of continuous and impulsive underwater noise levels on marine organisms and ecosystems, and the related ecosystem services they provide, including cumulative impacts with other pressures, are well understood, taking into account regional differences;environmental authorities have access to advanced methods, tools and indicators enabling them to comprehensively monitor and assess the impacts of underwater noise pollution on marine species and ecosystems and to devise strategies for protecting the ecosystems services they provide. Scope:Proposals should:develop new, or improve upon existing, scientific methods and tools for comprehensively monitoring the impacts of anthropogenic underwater noise pollution on marine ecosystems and species populations at different trophic levels and...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:the effectiveness of the protection of habitats and species in protected areas is maintained even under intensifying impacts of the drivers of biodiversity loss, including climate change, thanks to an improved understanding of how they affect the conservation status of the protected habitats and species, for the benefit of society;managers of protected areas are able to anticipate the future impacts of drivers of biodiversity loss and can take better informed decisions for the protection of terrestrial, freshwater and/or marine habitats and species. Scope:Protected areas are key to ensure the conservation of species and habitats. However, the intensification of the main drivers of biodiversity loss is raising questions on how their effectiveness will be maintained in the future.This topic i...
