HORIZON-NATURE-2027-02-02 – Living Labs for ecosystem restoration

CTA could play a key role in the design, implementation and monitoring of the project’s Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) scheme. CTA has strong expertise across the full FSTP lifecycle, from defining the funding approach and designing open calls and applicant support mechanisms, to managing implementation, supporting selected beneficiaries, monitoring funded projects and their results, and facilitating the exploitation and replication of successful solutions. CTA could combine this expertise with its experience in Living Labs and innovation ecosystem management, mobilising companies, public authorities, research organisations and regional stakeholders around ecosystem restoration challenges. CTA could also contribute to capacity building, business models, financing mechanisms, Public Procurement of Innovation, exploitation and replication of restoration solutions.
