Full Description

IDENER.AI Partner Contribution to HORIZON-NATURE-2027 Calls

IDENER.AI is an R&D-intensive SME based in Seville, Spain, specializing in the intersection of deep-tech software engineering, ecological research, socio-ecological dynamics, and multi-actor co-creation. We offer advanced technical and scientific capabilities to join consortia addressing the HORIZON-NATURE-2027 Destination calls.

Core Capabilities & Contributions for HORIZON-NATURE-2027:

• Socio-Ecological Research & Survey Design: Designing and deploying socio-ecological surveys, questionnaires, and qualitative tools to directly correlate social perception, human behavior, and cultural values with empirical ecosystem health, biodiversity indicators, and nature restoration efforts.

• Stakeholder Engagement & Multi-Actor Co-Creation: Leading Living Lab methodologies, stakeholder mapping, participatory workshops, and citizen science initiatives following Human-Centred Design (HCD) principles to bridge Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) insights with technical solutions and foster long-term community engagement.

• Ecoacoustics & Biodiversity Monitoring: Processing, analysis, and integration of ecoacoustic audio data streams to monitor species diversity, habitat health, and ecosystem trends through non-invasive field sensors.

• Copernicus Data Integration & Earth Observation Mapping: Leveraging Copernicus satellite imagery, GIS mapping, and remote sensing data to track land-use changes, habitat degradation, and environmental indicators across regional and European scales.

• Ecological Expertise & Indicator Integration: In-house ecological domain knowledge ensuring that predictive models, spatial maps, and decision-support systems are grounded in empirical biodiversity metrics, ecosystem functioning indicators, and EU nature frameworks.

• Environmental Digital Twins & Decision-Support Systems: Design and development of custom Digital Twins, cloud architectures, and interactive dashboards that aggregate Earth observation, socio-ecological surveys, and field data to simulate environmental/socio-economic impacts and guide policy decisions.

• Gamified Simulators & Interactive Tools: Custom-built, gamified simulation platforms ("interactive mini-games") and visual scenario builders designed to engage stakeholders, simplify complex ecological data, and model "what-if" management interventions.

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) & Sustainability Metrics: Comprehensive LCAs, circular bioeconomy evaluations, and environmental footprint assessments to measure value-chain impacts, natural capital accounting, and corporate sustainability reporting.

• Spanish Demonstration Sites & Network Access: Facilitation of real-world terrestrial, coastal, and freshwater pilot sites in Spain through established collaborations with local municipalities, regional authorities, and land managers.
